Toronto Review: 'Corpus Christi' is a strong Oscar contender for Poland

Jan Komasa creates a quiet masterpiece that deserves Best International Feature Oscar attention
Premiering in North America at TIFF, Jan Komasa's CORPUS CHRISTI is a stunning Polish feature which has made waves at Venice and deserves further global recognition. Poland may have quite the strong Oscar contender with this film which shares the elegance, complexity and layered narrative approach as Oscar favorites THE HUNT (Denmark) and LOVELESS (Russia).
A story that packs an emotional punch while offering fresh themes and interesting perspectives on religion and faith, this is a striking feature that is impressive in every sense of the word and one of the year's best directed films – foreign or otherwise.
Focusing on a 20-year old boy (Daniel, played with eye-opening excellence by Bartosz Bielenia) who serves a sentence in a youth detention center for a violent crime he had committed, the story follows Daniel's re-entry into the real world. With detention days behind him, despite being still on probation, he is sent to a far-away village to work in one of its mills. Determined to find an opportunity for a better life, and more importantly more power, he decides to pose as a priest and convinces the town folk of his new identity. But how can such a conservative, traditionalist town cope with a radical, young and liberal priest?
Komasa's film discusses several key themes related to faith, religion, community ties, power and trust dynamics, but ultimately this is a story about forgiveness; or lack thereof. On one level, convicted juveniles struggle, not only in Poland but elsewhere in the world, for acceptance and forgiveness once they exit their detention centers and hope to lead a new life ahead. On another level, Komasa tackles society's lack of compassion and inability to forgive, love and move on against the backdrop of a major tragedy that turns the town upside down and leaves Daniel in a crucial position: can he inspire the town folk to practice forgiveness and learn how to love, at a time and in a place that would never forgive him if his true identity is revealed?
This fascinating dilemma is intertwined with a multitude of character development twists and turns that make the film such a stirring tableaux about humanity and acceptance. To say more would spoil the revelatory nature of this film which deserves to be discovered by audiences willing to explore what world cinema has to offer outside the safer, more traditional offerings in multiplexes – and they will surely be deeply rewarded. As the film's final moments are revealed, and the story threads come together, CORPUS CHRISTI elevates itself into a masterwork that speaks to relevant, timely issues but never feels as though it is trying to be or sound important. In seamlessly and quietly delivering its message, it truly soars.
Featuring brilliant performances and a quietly stunning screenplay which carefully balances its dense themes and characterization, CORPUS CHRISTI has all the hallmarks of a foreign film that travels and finds an audience.
Verdict: A refreshing, touching and thought-provoking masterpiece that should gain awards traction with the right handling. A hidden gem at TIFF and a remarkable third feature from Jan Komasa who has delivered a pitch-perfect film that couldn't be more timely.

I was given a free trial subscription in exchange for a completely honest review. I only review products and services that I feel would be beneficial to my readers.
If you are a subscriber of a video-streaming service, I am sure you have noticed one thing. Some of the content is definitely not what you would want your children to see. I know I have. There may be loads of awesome content on there, but even some of the "kid-friendly" choices are not what you might consider acceptable. That is especially true if you are raising your child with Christian values. So, what is a parent to do?
I recently was introduced to a new video-streaming service called Pure Flix. The mission of Pure Flix is that it strives to be the most trusted family-friendly, Christian video-streaming source on the web." After viewing the content that is available, I have to say that I definitely feel they are on target with their mission. Their hope is that the entertainment they provide via the subscription service will be fun, entertaining, inspirational, and educational.
As a homeschooling mom, I am always looking for new and appropriate content that I can use for lessons. What I love about is that it offers titles that I have never seen anywhere else, except maybe in a Christian bookstore. As a one income family, buying dvds is not something in our monthly budget. With a monthly subscription to Pure Flix for less than the price of one dvd a month, you can have access to an abundance of family-friendly entertainment. My favorite series is called The Torchlighters: Heroes of Faith. Each video tells the story of a great person in history, but focuses on their faith. It is an incredible learning tool, especially if you homeschool! Right now, Pure Flix is available for streaming online via a computer or digital tv with web browsing capability, or the new Roku channel. A Wii application is in development and will possibly be available sometime in December or January.
Want to watch a movie for family movie night, but you are worried about picking a movie where you might have to cover your child's ears or eyes at some point? If you have Pure Flix, you don't have to be on guard at all. Just sit back, grab a bowl of popcorn and pick from any of the great movies now showing on Pure Flix! Right now, there is a really good movie called The Last Brickmaker starring screen legend, Sidney Poitier. I highly recommend it.
Right now, you can get a FREE MONTH of Pure Flix! If you want to cancel prior to the end of the month, so that your subscription will not renew, simply let them know. It's that easy. But if you choose to keep the subscription, you will have access to over 1,500 videos at this moment, with more on the way!

Q: Why can't I create a new group in Xcode? I need to put a file inside a group in xcode, but every time I try, it throws an error. This is what I did:
I selected the file that I want -> "New group from selection". When I name the group and hit enter, I get the following error:
An unknown error occurred.
Domain: com.apple.dt.SourceControlErrorDomain
Code: -1
Recovery Suggestion: failed to read index: '/Users/Path_to_project/.git/index' no longer exists (-1)
User Info: {
    DVTErrorCreationDateKey = "2022-11-30 18:32:36 +0000";
    "com.apple.dt.sourcecontrol.UnderlyingErrorString" = "failed to read index: '/Users/path_to_project/.git/index' no longer exists (-1)";
}

The file, let's call it helper.swift is in the same level as projectNameApp.swift. It was working fine until a coupe of days ago. Out of nowhere xcode started throwing a permission related error for helper.swift. The error goes like this -> The file "Helper.swift" couldn't be opened because you don't have permission to view it. I have both "read and write" permission for the specified file. I am thinking that these two issues are related.
ProjectName
|-- ProjectNameApp.swift
|-- Helper.swift  //error when I try to create a new group and place this file in it
`-- GroupOne
    |-- FileOne.swift
    `-- FileTwo.swift

What do I do to fix this?

Pultrusion is considered to be the most cost effective method for the manufacture of fibre reinforced composite structures. The composite items produced are composed of continuous fibres in a resin matrix. Man-made or natural fibres are used and set into a thermoset or thermoplastic resin matrix. Pultrusion is a continuous moulding process for the production of composite materials of constant cross-section shapes that include channel, flat bar, tubes etc. The pultruded items are used extensively throughout many industries to fabricate structures or to act as reinforcement. The wind energy industry uses pultrusion carbonfibre flat bar to reinforce its wind turbine blades. Power production and petro-chem cooling tower parts formed by pultruded composite elements. Rail and rail infrastructure, coach. The building and construction industry utilise pultruded composites in their structural components.

Q: Einstein Content Selection / not matched attributes I think I´ve learned that you can stear the asset by mapping the attributes of the send DE with the attributes of the asset. E.g. country "france" must match exactly. Now I can let rotate content in the fitting frame.
So far so good. Now I want to use einstein to give the customer the most fitting banner out of 10 possible categories (e.g. shirts, shoes, cosmetics ...).
Of course I have an idea about his preferences and that information in the send-DE, but I'm hoping that the feature can support me.
How can I set the mapping that einstein will learn and improve the promoted banner?
Sorry for the unspecific question but I need to get the approach of the feature to use it.
my best guess ist to configure it like that:

A: "As subscribers open your messages, Einstein analyzes click results to find out which assets spark interest in customers. Using real-time analysis, Einstein finds the assets that prompt customers to click a link in the email. As analysis proves that an asset continually contributes to increased click rates, Einstein selects that asset more frequently while the send proceeds." https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=mc_pb_einstein_content_selection.htm

A springtime wedding was planned for Laura & James, and the gorgeous shade of cornflower blue (my favourite) was the colour chosen for the bridesmaids. Laura wanted to have invitations reflecting the season and incorporating the cornflower shade into the design. The Japanese paper was used on all the stationery with the addition of one or two subtle sparkles dotted throughout. Here's a snap of the happy couple, beautifully captured by their photographer, Jonny Draper.
Thank you so much for our beautiful invitations and wedding stationary. They were so unique and individual a real treat - we were so excited when they arrived, it was almost a shame to send them out! Your service was excellent, you knew exactly what we wanted and more! Ordering everything was so straight forward. We have copies of everthing which we will treasure forever.

Mike & Mike in the Morning at Notre Dame Friday, Oct. 12
ESPN Radio's Mike & Mike in the Morning (6-10 a.m. ET M-F) will originate live from The University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind. on Friday, Oct. 12.
Co-hosts Mike Golic and Mike Greenberg will broadcast from Library Mall, on the lawn between the stadium and library, with Touchdown Jesus as the backdrop. They will be near the demo field to be used by ESPN's College GameDay Built by The Home Depot during its Saturday telecast (9 a.m. on ESPNU, 10 a.m. on ESPN) before the No. 7-ranked Irish host No.17 Stanford at 3:30 p.m.
Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly will be among the guests to join Greenberg and Golic on-set Friday.
Mike & Mike in the Morning previously originated from South Bend in 2006 when Greenberg, paying off his "Sheets of Integrity Bracket Wager" loss to Golic, wore the Notre Dame Leprechaun mascot outfit during the broadcast.
Friday will be somewhat of a homecoming for Golic, a 1985 graduate of the University of Notre Dame where he served as captain of the football team during his senior season and wrestled. His sons Jake (TE) and Mike, Jr. (OL) play for the Irish, and his daughter Sydney is a freshman on the swim team. Golic's brothers Bob and Greg also played football at Notre Dame.
College GameDay on ESPN Radio (Saturdays, noon-7 p.m.) with Ryen Russillo, Trevor Matich, and Brad Edwards will originate from LSU where the No. 8-ranked Tigers will host No. 3 South Carolina.

Robbie Revving Up For Fast Start
Early Games Are The Key
Robbie Dennison - 12 years on from his departure from Wolves' playing ranks.
Robbie Dennison believes a good start is vital if Wolves are to make a success of their eagerly-awaited return to the Premier League.
The long-serving Molineux midfielder is counting off the days until the club's opening fixture at home to West Ham a week on Saturday and will be looking to the side he watches home and away to start on the front foot.
"I think the opening fixtures are crucial," he said. "Look at what Stoke and Hull achieved last season – they both started really well and that set the tone for them.
"The fixture list has been kind to Wolves in the first few weeks and they have to take advantage of those matches.
"Players and fans will get belief if the team pick up points early on, so it's all about recording your first home win and then hopefully your first away win and building from there."
Dennison twice won promotion with Wolves in the late 1980s and, despite subsequent opening-day defeats at Bury (in the Third Division in 1988-89) and Middlesbrough (in the Second Division in 1989-90), the side flourished in their new surroundings.
He recognises that the challenges are altogether stiffer now, though, at a level Wolves have sampled only once since 1984.
"This is the biggest step up there is," he added. "It's massive – certainly much bigger than anything I experienced in my time there.
"Wolves found it hard to get any sort of winning mentality last time they came up in 2003 and the way Charlton came and scored four goals from four chances in the first home game showed the difference.
"You just can't make mistakes at this level because you will be punished. I'm convinced Mick McCarthy has good players but there's a certain element of unknown territory. Not many of them have played up here before.
Dennison presses in Wolves' Third Division title-clinching draw with Sheffield United 20 years ago.
"All I'd say is don't just aim for 17th place. Stoke did brilliantly to finish almost in mid-table and Hull, who hadn't got a price to stay up last summer, were excellent in the first few months, although they would probably have gone down if there had been another couple of games.
"Wolves' pre-season results have been mixed but the players will find an extra 20 per cent when they walk out in front of 29,000 at the first match."
Dennison, who is 22nd in the club's all-time appearance list after playing 353 competitive games from 1987 to 1997, is a summariser these days on Beacon Radio and hopes to be at all Wolves' Premier League games over the next nine and a bit months.

Young Leaders Gather to Discuss About Youth Activities in Clan Associations
At 9am on 26th May 2012, the General Affairs Team of the Singapore Federation of Chinese Clan Associations (SFCCA) Youth Committee and the National Youth Council held the "Young Leaders Brainstorming Camp" in the conference hall at *SCAPE. The camp brought together 90 young people aged between 16 and 45, from various clan associations, new immigrant organisations, the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SCCCI) Young Entrepreneurs Network, Business China, Chinese student groups, etc. They came together to brainstorm about future clan association activities, share their experiences and discuss clan association activities that may be suitable for young people.
In his speech, Mr Thomas Pek, Chairman of the SFCCA Youth Committee, said that the Committee has been looking for activities suitable for young people. The purpose of this camp was to create a platform for young leaders to come together to research and discuss their own ideas about clan association activities. He hoped that after the brainstorming, the young leaders would bring these ideas back to their respective clans, and then share and implement them, so as to organise more novel activities, renewing and energising clan associations.
The activity was divided into two parts. After the morning session, during which participants were grouped into different groups to discuss various topics, the participants presented their ideas during the afternoon session. The 90 participants were divided into 6 groups, on art, sports, children, youth, the elderly, and environmental protection respectively. They conducted a heated two-hour discussion. After the discussion in the morning, the National Youth Council and the National Integration Council also presented relevant information on funding for activities, including the $3000 Young Change Makers (YCM) grant, and the Community Integration Fund, which provides funds of up to $200,000. Participants were interested in applying for the funds, and many asked about the application process and requirements.
Participants were grouped into 6 groups for discussion, according to the various topics
6 different topics; suggestions for different activities
After lunch, the six groups sent representatives to present activity proposals that they had discussed. Those who discussed about art proposed to record historical information, customs and culture, life and so on in the form of micro-movies, and to use social media to spread clan associations' influence to young people, so that more young people can understand more about traditional culture.
The sports group proposed that 10 to 20 clan associations should set up a common sports interest group (such as basketball). In addition to being able to interact and compete with each other, they can also organise 100-200 volunteers to plan activities. The children's group proposed to hold a "Little Entrepreneur Competition" to allow primary school students to conduct charity sales, learn from the experience, and grasp the meaning of giving back to society. The proceeds will be donated to charities. The youth group hoped that youth committees could hold regular gatherings or meals, so that they can get to know each other, learn from each other's successes and discuss the possibility of organising activities together.
On the other hand, the group that discussed about the elderly presented plans to organise a series of medical talks, exhibitions and Chinese medicine clinics to encourage senior citizens to participate. The Environmental Protection Group believes that it is possible to encourage the establishment of environmental groups to promote green concepts (such as conserving water and electricity) and to gather regularly to promote interaction between the various clan associations.
90 young leaders from clan associations and other institutions participated in the brainstorming camp
Sim Ann conversing with the participants
Ms Sim Ann, Senior Parliamentary Secretary at the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Law, also attended the afternoon session. After listening to the groups present the results of their discussions, she also had dialogues with the participants and shared her opinions. SFCCA President Mr Chua Thian Poh, Secretary-General Mr Patrick Lee Kwok Kie, Vice Secretary-General Mr Perng Peck Seng and other council members also took the time to attend the event.
Ms Sim Ann expressed affirmation of the young leaders' communication in Chinese and their ideas for the future development of clan associations. She said that the various activities proposed by the participants were constructive and a good start, and emphasised the importance of the sustainability of the activities.
In the one-and-a-half-hour dialogue, participants inquired about some of the policies of the Ministry of Education, such as expanding the scope of co-curricular activities, and discussed and made suggestions to Ms Sim Ann regarding topics such as the Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre and traditional culture. The event officially ended at 4pm.

As of today, we have reached 2,500 followers. This shows that our work pertaining to endangered languages is steadily gaining public recognition. We have seen the most exponential growth in terms of followers this year, and we believe this may be due to the pandemic, which has allowed people to ponder the meaning of life and reconsider their priorities in life. Consequently, we are seeing an increased interest in languages and cultures. Besides, people couldn't travel as much this year and this made them long for being exposed to different languages and cultures. We have so far celebrated every 100 new followers, but we will from now on celebrate every 500 new followers until we reach 5,000 followers when we will start celebrating every 1,000 new followers.

The counter is lagging behind sometimes. I do not know why such glitches may exist. It has already reached 2,502 on my side.
I do not know why such counting exist. I don't know why such a number matters at all.
It might be useful for gauging interest and engagement, as there is ample reason to believe that every human being matters while as we are online, we ought not to forget that every individual follower potentially represents a real human being with a beating heart and living soul. The charitable mission of this blog is the promotion of endangered languages such as the Frisian languages. 2,500+ followers is more than the amount of speakers that many of these languages have individually. Heligolandic Frisian, Sagelterland Frisian, Schiermonnikoog Frisian, Northern Goesharde Frisian, Hindeloopen Frisian and Terschelling Frisian come to mind. For many of the last speakers of the aforementioned languages, it was quite unimaginable that they could reach an audience that is larger than the amount of speakers of their respective languages. This gives them hope, and hope is what they need in order to feel motivated for helping to preserve their language. If the situation seems terribly hopeless with no one being marginally interested in the last speakers' respective languages and cultures, who would want to work hard for the cause of their language and culture? What would keep them interested in this difficult task? For this practical reason, the psychological and moral value of the support for this blog is tremendous; it boosts morale among the often elderly last speakers, especially during these trying times of the worldwide lockdowns and a plethora of restrictions.

Incidental to my former frequent travels in what we now call Czechia, I became interested in the country's language and culture — though I admit my actual studies have become far too sporadic! I was startled, however, to learn that the Czech language had all but died out during the time of the Empire — when German, after all, was the language of politics, business, and diplomacy — and mightn't have survived were it not for a translator of the Bible!
So I understand the importance of your mission. Cheers.
Welcome and thank you so much for sharing this moving story with us! Religion has often played a major historical role in saving languages. I published an article today about the indigenous languages of Taiwan that were first documented by the Dutch inhabiting the island. The Taiwanese Dutch recorded these languages for religious purposes while they translated sections of the Bible to the local languages that were then spoken around Tainan, where the Dutch were based in the 1600s. These texts have been used for modern-day revival efforts of the local Taiwanese languages that have gone extinct sometime after the Taiwanese Dutch were expelled from Taiwan by Chinese forces, which went on to sinify Austronesian Taiwan, which is the original linguistic and cultural homeland of the Austronesian language family, which includes the Polynesian languages as natively spoken in Tahiti, Hawai'i and New Zealand.

Well done, and yes it matters. Especially if it matters to YOU, to show what your hard work and love of linguistics has done for so many.

A lawless town of anarchists, built on the ruins of an ancient mining city. [Lore]

A Sliver of Time
by Tarn Alrenson on July 15th, 2018, 4:51 am
Timestamp: 25th, Summer, 518 AV
A light fog hung over the city as Tarn stepped out of the barracks, stifling a yawn. He winced as the slight motion sparked a spike of pain in his aching throat. He rubbed his neck, imagining the bruise he knew was visible there from his rather unfriendly encounter with a Daggerhand last night. The bruising was worse on his chest and ribs, but thankfully the shirt and studded leather armor he had donned hid that from view. It was best to never show more weakness than was necessary in Sunberth. There were always vultures looking for easy prey.
Gritting his teeth and doing his best to ignore the pain, Tarn strode forward. Luckily, he hadn't taken any duties this morning and was free until the afternoon. Tarn would have spent as much time as possible in his cot, except even now with the measly rest he had gotten, his whole body was stiff as a board, and seemed to scream in protest every time he moved.
Tarn didn't particularly look forward to reporting for duty like this, so he hoped a stroll around Sunberth—hopefully without armed confrontation this time—would serve to loosen his muscles and ease some of his pains.
As a whole, the Sun's Refuge—the last corner of the city that the Sun's Birth could claim as their own—was a nice place. The streets were kept clean, and the buildings were well kept, and decidedly grander than those in just about any other portion of the city. Even the people who walked the streets were much cleaner and more well-dressed than the average denizen of the city. While certainly not as sizable as the territories other gangs claimed as their own, the Sun's Refuge was as good a place in the city as anywhere. It was pleasant, and if nothing else, Tarn could say with a surety that here he wouldn't be beaten half to death by a thief in an alleyway.
As he continued though, Tarn noticed a few faults in the glorious façade the Sun's Birth had built here. There were fewer dangerous, hawk-eyed men in the streets, yes, but as many and more than you would expect in any other quarter of the city dwelt on the rooftops. Archers and scouts, scanning the crowds below them, poised to strike at the sight of trouble. This could be justified of course, in the name of order, but there were other things too. The way a woman shied away with fear in her eyes as a particular man passed by, a weaselly man in a dark corner sniffing his next hit with wild eyes, or the bruises on the knuckles of a large Dragoon returning from the city. It wasn't the first time Tarn had noticed these things. They were blaringly apparent to anybody who spent much time in the area. Tarn had come to the conclusion that however nice this part of the city was for him, it still had problems. It just hid them deeper than the others.

Storyteller secrets
Tarn walked through the border of the Sun's Refuge without incident, exchanging nods with the guards stationed there. Tarn had been assigned to that duty once or twice. It was boring work, for the most part, but occasionally heartbreaking. The guards that held that line were all under orders to be judicious about the outsiders they let through. Tarn never liked turning people away. It wasn't that long ago that he had been one of the people just like those that were sent back at blade point. He
had been worse off than many of them, actually. He remembered all too well approaching guards like these, still in grief for his father and grandfather and submitting his plea for entry to the organization.
The guards were rough with outsiders and hadn't really let up until the eight-pointed sun was burned into his hand. Many of them were jaded, having fought in the bloody struggle that had seen them forced out of the gated community. Many had friends that were killed that day. Maybe it had been different before, but now guard duty was grim work.
Once outside the Sun's Birth's sphere of immediate influence, appearances quickly took a turn for the worse. Many of the buildings and establishments in this part of the city were still grand, at least compared to the rest of Sunberth, but it was dirtier, and wary looks occupied everyone's faces. Tarn was bereft of his spear—he found it drew more attention than he generally liked on excursions like this one—but the sword he wore buckled to his waist served well enough alongside the brand on his hand to keep the more predatory occupants of the city at bay. Unlike within the Sun's Refuge, signs of corruption and travesty here sat on the surface, all too apparent to anybody with eyes to see.
Empty eyed and hollow cheeked prostitutes roamed the streets, searching for customers so they could acquire enough coin to secure their next meal. Dirty, haggard beggars congregated at corners and the mouths of alleys. Tarn had to tear his eyes away from their pleading gazes. He could have been one of them so easily. Many of them were where they were as a mere product of chance. The difference between a pauper and a king rested on a toss of the dice.
The buildings grew smaller and the crowds grew denser as Tarn ventured into the market. The air was crowded with the cries of merchants hawking their wares, men and women calling out to each other, and the other sounds of a marketplace crowd. Though he did his best to skirt the denser knots of people, Tarn frequently had to nudge and force his way through. Eventually Tarn came out the other side of the market into a set of streets that was decidedly less crowded, nursing his ribs where he had taken a few elbows to his bruises.
Here in the Commons, Tarn was only a few streets away from the spot where he had received those bruises last night. He took a winding route to avoid that street. The chances he would encounter the same Daggerhand he had met before were slim, but he didn't want to risk it.
As he passed between low buildings and dirty hovels, musing upon his own thoughts, a small child running out of a narrow alley tripped and fell, the toy she was holding in her hands flying out in front of her and landing just in front of Tarn's feet. With a small smile, and resisting a light chuckle, Tarn stooped over to retrieve the toy. It was a doll, simply constructed. Likely, it had been woven from clothes the child—or maybe her siblings—had outgrown. Tarn stood up and brushed off the doll.
At the mouth of the alley the little girl was picking herself off the ground, ignoring the dirt clinging to her in the way that children did. Tarn turned and stretched the doll out to her, offering it back wordlessly. Seeing it, she reached out to grab her toy. Just as she laid her hands on it and took the doll, the little girl saw the brand on the back of the hand that gave it to her. With a small cry, the girl dropped the doll, turning and running away. She ducked into an alley at the first opportunity.
Tarn stared at his own hand, then at the doll, now lying cockeyed in a muddy puddle. There was now no sign of its owner. His eyes were filled with a forlorn cast, and he stilled. Was that what he was to people? A thing to be feared, run away from? Tarn bent over once again, picking up the doll. It lay limply in his hands, and Tarn immediately thought of a corpse. With a shake of his head, Tarn set the doll down on the side of the street, near the alley the child had initially burst from. Maybe she would come back and get it. Tarn hoped so. Kids in this town needed all the comfort they could get, when there was any comfort to be found.
Tarn continued on his way, the rhythmic plodding of his footsteps somehow echoing with a sadder tone than before. Or perhaps it was Tarn's imagination. Sometimes, it was hard to tell.
After an eternity of walking—or maybe just a few minutes—Tarn realized he had stopped at the foot of the Temple of the Unknown. Gazing upon the grand structure, now fallen in ruin, for the first time in his life Tarn decided to go in. Tarn was not a religious man. Considering the gods had done nothing for him in all his years that he could tell, Tarn saw no reason to give any special attention to any of them. They were the ones with near infinite power, so why should he be the one to do service for the other?
Nevertheless, Tarn strode into the empty and dilapidated cathedral. There were others here, of course. The temple was a place of peace, where troubled souls often came seeking solace, and Sunberth never had a shortage of troubled souls. The only surprise to Tarn as he looked upon the various weary and downtrodden occupants of the temple was that he was among them.
Tarn wandered among the old columns and once grand walls, eventually coming upon a secluded corner that wasn't already taken. Tired, and wishing to rest his weary legs, Tarn sat down with his back against a wall that might have once housed a magnificent mural but now was just a discolored and mottled stone surface. Tarn felt the cold stone of the wall through his hair as he rested his head against it, closing his eyes briefly. He reflected on the last couple months. They had been chaos.
At one moment, he had been an apprentice shipwright, looking forward to a future in the field, maybe even one that might take him to different cities in far off lands. Then, like a lightning strike in the dead of night, his two loved ones, his father and grandfather, had been killed, their throats slit and their bodies dumped in a dark grimy alley. As far as Tarn had been able to puzzle out, they had gotten on the wrong side of one of the many smaller gangs in the area. On their way back to the small house they shared with Tarn from the carpentry shop where they worked, they had been killed, and everything of value had been stripped from their bodies.
Grief had hit Tarn like a hammer, sending him reeling. It had taken Tarn two weeks to get over the initial shock that he was alone. He took another week to realize why they had died, what had really killed them. The city was corrupt, diseased, and something had to be done about it. In another week Tarn joined the Sun's Birth.
But now, Tarn questioned his decision. He had never believed Sun's Birth to be perfect. Rather, he had seen them as the lesser of the evils that occupied his city, and the one most likely to drive the others out and be a force for good. However, the longer he spent in the gang, and the deeper he saw into their actions, the less of a difference he saw between them and the rest. The Sun's Birth had caused their fair share of strife in Sunberth, and then some. Tarn wouldn't leave. He had given an oath to the organization and meant to honor it. If he let his word of honor mean nothing, he would be as bad as the rest of them. He would have to hold firm if he was not to be corrupted like the Kelvic he had met thought he would be. The Sun's Birth was not completely benign, but as far as he could tell, there was nothing in their creed that prevented him from being so. Or at least trying. But then again, as long as he supported the gang, as long as he wore their colors and bore weapons in their name, wasn't he acting out the will of the corrupt? Allowing their evils to continue? Perhaps even promoting them? He was caught between the anvil and the hammer, and it made Tarn sick.

Tarn sighed and opened his eyes. There was no use in sitting around doing nothing. As he moved to rise, something caught his eye. Beside him, lying on the ground was a small, miniature statue of a woman. He reached over, picking it up. The figure was about eight inches tall, smooth, carved from cool stone, and from what Tarn could tell it was of supreme craftsmanship. He was surprised to find it. Tarn thought anything of value would have been stripped from this place a long time ago, and this certainly looked like a skilled salesman could make a pretty Miza off of selling it. Tarn examined it. It probably represented some deity, or at least a very important person, but Tarn didn't recognize whoever it was. With a snort, Tarn set it aside, standing up. He had no use for little idols, especially when he didn't even know who it was of.
Tarn stretched his legs, and just as he was prepared to leave, heading back to the barracks, he was interrupted by a serene female voice.
"Why do you cast aside the things of greatest worth to you, Tarn?"
Tarn spun around, searching. There didn't appear to be anyone around, but he had heard the voice address him, clear as day. Eventually, his gaze settled on the little statue. Except, it didn't look like a statue anymore. To his eyes, there was an eight-inch-tall woman standing on the broken tile floor. She looked to be in her middle ages, but it was difficult to tell. Her hair was bright, like burnished silver, and her face was smooth, almost youthful. Standing there, even with here small size, the woman commanded an impressive sense of grace and control.
"What— ah, wh-what are you?" Tarn said, stumbling over his words and his feet as well as he took a few hurried steps backward.
"A good question, albeit asked somewhat improperly," the woman said. "I am an idol, as you can see. A divine creation of the goddess Tanroa, mistress of the river of time, imbued with a miniscule shard of her power in order to see her will done on this world."
Tarns was left mouth agape, searching for words. A creation of Tanroa? The name was familiar to him, but she was not spoken of often. When she was, it was in hushed, reverent tones. Tarn knew little else other than her name.
"Why?" was the only thing he could bring himself to say, struck dumb for words. The little woman smiled gently.
"The goddess Tanroa sees all of time before her. What was, what is, and what will be all fall under her gaze. Her purposes in action are an enigma to mortals such as yourself. However, I have been sent down here by her will, and have chosen you as the recipient of the gifts which I can offer. I will use what wisdom I have to guide you, and help you navigate the troubled waters you journey across. In addition to advice, I also possess… other abilities, which I can lend to your cause if they are needed. In order for me to animate and function in the way I am now, my goddess requires nothing more than a simple prayer to her each day. I will teach you the way in which you are to give this prayer, and then I will be able to assist you in any way I can."
Tarn stood in shock. He had heard of divine powers interacting with normal people before, either themselves or through emissaries, like this statue seemed to be. However, most of those stories came from sailors, usually ones too drunk walk in a straight line for more than three paces in a row. But here was a statue, a talking statue that claimed to be a product of the goddess of time herself?
"Wait," Tarn began, scrambling to gather his wits about him again, "if you're giving me advice, what are you advising me towards? What are you trying to get me to do?"
"Tarn, you must understand. I have chosen you, I am now tied to you stronger than any mortal chain. I am in your service, and I am in perpetual service to Tanroa, but those are not exclusive goals by any means," said the little statue, who appeared as lifelike as any woman Tarn saw on the street, except for her miniscule size.
Tarn considered her warily. Some gods could be fickle—at least according to sailors' stories—and he didn't want to be played for a fool.
"And what's the catch? For you to stay… alive, or whatever you are now, I have to pray to Tanroa, and what? What more?"
"There is no catch, Tarn, son of Alren. If you pray in the way I show you, each day I shall awaken and do all that is in my power to help you. No further duties are required of you, and no claim has been made on your life. You are still your own man, for as long as you wish to be. I may choose to guide you towards actions I believe to be expedient, but I will not attempt to deceive you into something you do not understand."
Tarn stared inquisitively at the little statue. He took a few steps toward it and crouched down.
"So, the gods, they actually act? We are not all beneath their notice?"
The statue met Tarn's gaze,
"The gods always act Tarn, they always help, in more ways than you could count or recognize in a lifetime. You are not beneath their notice, but often their influence is beneath yours."
Tarn cast his eyes downward, staring at the cracked tile beneath him.
"Show me the prayer, please," Tarn asked the statue quietly.
"Of course," she replied.
"And thank you," Tarn added. With a smile, the little statue answered,
And so, Tarn knelt in a temple long abandoned by its original patron, listening to the instructions of a tiny idol on how to honor the goddess of time, thanking her for her gift. He learned the manner of language with which he was to speak, the proper addresses, and the way he was to cast his mind. Tarn followed the instructions to the letter, wondering if perhaps he wasn't so alone in this life after all.

The 2009 referendum funds will expire this year. The district has said it would have to cut programs and services if the new referendum fails.
In an attempt to save money, the district has also made $1.7 million in expense cuts since the 2014-15 school year by consolidating services, including transportation and food services, refinancing debt, renegotiating contracted services, reducing staffing costs by eliminating benefits, including long-term care and district-provided retirement benefits.
A 2018 facilities review found that while the schools are well maintained, many of the schools' major systems have exceeded their life cycles, which has resulted in inefficiencies and ongoing costly repairs.
Maple Dale School was built in the 1930s, while Indian Hill was built in 1960. Maple Dale had renovations and expansion in 1968 and 1988. An addition was put on Indian Hill School in 1991. The last time either school had improvements done was 2009.
District officials said a majority of the capital projects are too big to be covered by the district's regular annual budget, which is why it is asking for funding via a capital referendum.
3. The estimated tax impact will depend on whether both questions pass.
The estimated tax impact of the first question is 17 cents per $1,000 of fair market property value. A homeowner with property worth $200,000 would pay $34 more annually.
The estimated tax impact of the second question is $1.16 per $1,000 of fair market property value. This assumes borrowing over 15 years with interest rates of 3.75 percent. A homeowner with a property worth $200,000 would pay $232 more annually in school taxes.
If both questions pass, the combined tax impact is $1.33 per $1,000 of fair market property value. A homeowner with a $200,000 property would pay $266 more annually in school taxes.
4. Community survey results indicate a majority of residents support both referendum questions.
A community survey that 381 district residents responded to indicated 75 percent supported an operational referendum of $980,000 per year. Sixty-five percent said they would support a capital referendum.
5. Residents can learn more about the referendum at upcoming information sessions.
The Maple Dale-Indian Hill School District is hosting two referendum information sessions and school building tours. The first is on Wednesday, March 6, at Maple Dale School and the second will be on Monday, March 18 at Indian Hill School. Both sessions run from 6 to 7:30 p.m. and will be hosted in an open house format.
Residents can review the capital project plans, speak with district officials, school board members, architects and construction managers about the referendum questions. Tours of both school buildings will also be available.

The property is located in a beautiful village of the municipal unit Armenoi, in the municipality of Apokoronas. They are two old adjacent residences, one of which has been partially restored and the second needs restoration. The property can become a spacious and beautiful residence with large spaces, a nice garden and great views.
The two residences share a fenced courtyard. Before entering the courtyard, there is a traditional "hayat" for each home, where previously the transport animals of the visitors were kept. On the front and back side of the houses there is plenty of space, where you can construct a pool or just a garden. On the property there is also enough remaining buildable area, which allows you to expand existing buildings.
The repaired section currently consists of two independent apartments, each of which has its own bathroom and kitchen. The two apartments have a total area of approximately 140 m² and can be easily joined. Several repairs are needed in this section and many improvements can be made. However, with relatively little money you can make habitable this part of the property or one of the two apartments. The unrepaired section comprises the "hayat", which has an area of 11 m² and a two-storey building with total area of about 58 m².
The property is suitable if you are looking for a home, where you can stay directly while at the same time you can repair it gradually. There are many areas, where you can build a large house with several bedrooms or up to three independent residences. The strong traditional character of the property allows you to use it for tourist purposes. With some small improvements you can also have the required privacy.
The village is tranquil enough and can cover your basic needs as it has a pharmacy, bakery, mini market, traditional café and more. About 5 km away is the small town of Kalives, where you will find banks, post office, supermarket, all kinds of shops as well as several cafes and taverns along a great sandy beach. The city and airport of Chania are about 25 and 30 minutes' drive, respectively.

Q: php execute function and immediately return response Is it possible to execute some background command and without waiting for it completes, return response?(Symfony2) example:user submit form and gets response, but in background executes some external calculations.

A: Just refer this documentation
You can run the command in the background by adding a "&" at the end of it as:
exec('Your Command &');

Usually you would put the commands in a shell script and call that from exec, however the above trick will help where the sequence is dynamically generated from php.
NOTE:- If a program is started with exec function, in order for it to continue running in the background, the output of the program must be redirected to a file or another output stream. Failing to do so will cause PHP to hang until the execution of the program ends.
So you can redirect the stdout of the command to a file, if you want to see it later or to /dev/null if you want to discard it as:
exec('Command > /dev/null &');

For a sequence of commands, enclose them within parentheses then append the & symbol but be sure to redirect stdout, stderr somewhere otherwise your script will hang waiting e.g.:
<?php

exec('( sleep 10; echo "finished" | mail ian@example.com ) &> /dev/null &');

?>

Thanks!

A: The most correct way in my opinion is to use RabbitMQ. You can send message to Rabbit and with an cron job execute needed command. Something like that: http://cases.azoft.com/using-rabbitmq-in-symfony2-projects/

CIMS Lecture: The Smith and the State: Relationships between Metallurgical Production and Mycenaean Palaces in Late Bronze Age Greece (Taylor Stark)
Thursday, January 12, 2023 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm

The Smith and the State: Relationships between Metallurgical Production and Mycenaean Palaces in Late Bronze Age Greece
Thursday, January 12, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm EST
Taylor Stark, PhD candidate, University of Toronto (Classics)
It is generally thought that the Mycenaean palaces in Late Bronze Age Greece (ca. 1600 – 1150 BCE) held near-universal control over specialized crafting industries, including metal production. This view is derived from the textual evidence of the Linear B tablets. However, a comparison of various archaeological metal production assemblages reveals that smiths interacted with political authorities in far more complex ways than has been assumed. As such, this talk presents a more nuanced understanding of the diverse relationships that existed between craft production and the palaces, which in turn has broader implications for our view of Mycenaean states as definable entities which are universally comparable in their function and interests.

Psychic-medium Matthew Stapley to visit Kingston
By Katrina Geenevasen
More from By Katrina Geenevasen
Published on: July 18, 2013 | Last Updated: July 18, 2013 8:06 AM EDT
When he was only eight years old, Matthew Stapley had his first psychic experience, describing in perfect detail the room his father sat in overseas in Thailand.
"It was kind of a bizarre experience actually, for my whole family," said Stapley during his interview with Kingston This Week. "Basically, what happened was he was in Thailand in business, and he wasn't staying at a hotel, he was staying with a friend, so it wasn't like a standard room. He called to see how we were doing and I told my mom I wanted to say hi. The minute I touched the phone, I started getting all these visions in my mind of where he was sitting and what the room looked like."
It was unsettling for such a young boy, but it would prove to be the first of many experiences he would have.
"As a kid, I was seeing people in my room every night," explained Stapley, whose grandfather was once a psychic. "And I was on sleeping medication at 11 years old because I couldn't sleep. At one point, I had these people that looked like pioneers in my room, and then I found out that this big log pile of mess in my front field was actually a cabin way back when in settler days, and when it collapsed, people died or abandoned it, so I thought it might be them."
He also heard from his grandfather, who has requested he pass on messages to their family.
At the young age of 17, Stapley became one of Canada's youngest professional psychic-mediums. Since then, Stapley, now 27, has helped hundreds of people make connections with their loved ones, to heal from their pasts and become inspired by their futures. His goal is to encourage people to pursue paths of wellness, self-mastery and the discovery of their own gifts.
On July 26, Kingstonians will get the chance to hear these messages of hope when Stapley performs at the Residence Marriott Inn at 7:30 p.m.
He will be providing a talk, hosting a question and answer session, and giving audience members the "opportunity to connect with spirit."
Stapley said he sees, hears and feels messages from the other side, and harnesses these messages to effect change and help others.
"Authenticity, integrity and validation, those are my three things I work with," said Stapley. "Authenticity is me knowing nothing about that client. Integrity is all about making sure the message is a positive one, of hope, inspiration and truth. Validation, it's all about making sure it's information you can know about."
Stapley said he loves what he does because each day provides him with new opportunities to help others heal.
"It's nice to see people getting closure and find peace with their situation and loved ones that have passed," he said. "It's such an important facet of mediumship. It's just a sense of being able to help others heal in their lives."

View topic - Mr. Ultra: a Game Gear WIP - Forums - SMS Power!
Nice. It reminds me a lot of the old Smurfs game for the Intellivision.
I'm running out of room for the first bank. Is there any example code on bankswitching? I'll need to once level 2 is finished, possibly sooner. I only have 29% free in bank 00.
Bank 1 free to use. If you're getting full then it must be mostly data, so banking should be easy.
I found that when more than 48KB of ROM is needed, better to plan everything right from the beginning... and that means choosing a convenient rom bank configuration and exploit superfree sections.
Thanks for the info. I want the game to be 64k. I'll put the game engine in one bank and have all the graphics, music and stuff in the other banks. I already have the game engine done, so all I'd need to do is modify it for each different level. I'm thinking if I can do it this way, I can have up to 8 different levels, perhaps more. Although if I can fit 8 levels into 32k, I'll just do that.
Actually, since my enemies and music files aren't horribly big, I think I can just use 32k. Could I do the game engine in bank 00 and put all the include files in bank 01 and then call them into bank 00 when necessary?
If your ROM fits into 48 KB you don't need any bank-switching at all, which also means you can put your code and your assets anywhere you like and there won't be any problem.
OK, cool. How would I declare a 48k bank?
Doesn't PSGLib use slot 3? How would I make a slot 3?
Also, I just ordered what I need to test this on a real Game Gear. I am so excited to see how it looks.
You don't need that weird memorymap, just change from 'slot 3' to 'slot 1' in PSGlib ramsection. Also, if you want ramsections to start from $dd00 you can simply change slot 1 address.
Well, you could also place LUTs and even some assets in there, if some space remains.
LUTs and assets are data, so they'd be outside that 32KB limit. You might want to avoid paging in a LUT that's used a lot, unless it turns out to be huge. A bankswitch is fairly cheap if you don't need to restore the previous bank.
LUTs and assets are data, so they'd be outside that 32KB limit.
What I meant was, if you're paging code (apart from music engines and credits, perhaps) then you either have a huge amount of code, or you're not managing the placement very well.
I like to pack into the smallest ROM possible (although for Everdrive compatibility you should go for a multiple of 64KB). Superfree sections help but if you have a large first slot then they can't go there; so use all 16KB slots if that's useful. It's also wasteful to page banks 0-1 into slot 2, so you can use a macro to wrap a check.
I personally would avoid paging code, it makes everything much more complex... and since there's no real need to optimize for size, I still believe the best approach is to have up to 32KB available for code (should be always enough!) and n*16KB banks according to needs.
But I would anyway place LUTs with code (at least the very general purpose ones, for instance those used for divides and modulus) - again it means less burden. And when you're approaching completion, if you realize there's a bunch of KB free in your 32KB space, you can move some assets there.
to 32k instead of 48k?
never mind, I figured it out, it's 8000.
You should be able to write $8000 as 32 * 1024 if you prefer. There's no need to use hex unless you want to, and WLA DX (mostly) allows you to also use arithmetic wherever a number would go.
Whoops :) Corrected in my post.
I just tried this on a real Game Gear. The sound works, but the graphics are all messed up. The colors are all wrong. Mr. Ultra should be wearing a red shirt, not yellow, and the white mountaintop on level 2 isn't showing up, and it's really disappointing. Is there a way to fix this?
I checked the header and it says it's an $4 (SMS Export.) How do I change this to $7 (GG International)?
WLA DX doesn't support it right now. You don't really need it. It would probably be easy to add it though.
You can hex edit the ROM, look for the byte at address $7fff, it's probably $4c which you can change to $7c.
I just tried this on a real Game Gear. The sound works, but the graphics are all messed up.
I tried both those things and it still won't display the right graphics.
mmm... is it affecting colors only or you get corrupted images too?
Must be something in your code. When I convert the palette of the game to make it work on Master System, I also have wrong color.
Can someone look through my code and perhaps tell me what I'm doing wrong? A link to it is in post #1.
I gave a look yesterday and couldn't find any bug (which doesn't mean there's no bug, anyway...). The matter is: if it's running correctly on emulator(s) [did you try Emulicious and MEKA?] and it's not running correctly on hardware then you may be writing 'too fast' to VRAM, even if in your code it seems to me it isn't so.
Again, is it affecting colors only or you get corrupted images too? And did you try your EverDrive-GG with some other demo/homebrew to ensure it's working flawlessly?
I haven't tested any other homebrews yet.
The game's title screen is all one color, his shirt is yellow, not red, and the words "mr. ultra" are all messed up. Or at least I think they are, I can't see them very well.
Please, do so. You might want to identify problems with your EverDrive ASAP, if that's the case.
Both Fire Track and GG Nibbles will not work. I can't get past the Fire Track title screen, and GG Nibbles is too faint to play. However, Sonic Drive 2 works just fine.
Why didn't you suggest to test the rom as SMS rom in an emulator? From his description it looks exactly as the outcome of running the game as an SMS rom.
Does the attachment show what you're seeing?
Yep, that's what it's displaying.
"My guess is that your ROM filename is an 8.3 filename (up to 8 characters filename, 3 characters extension, no mixed-case) instead of a long filename.
I reported this bug a few months ago but never received a reply: http://krikzz.com/forum/index.php?topic=3230.0 -- and I'm guessing the random incompatiblities ("some GG games are booting as SMS") that other people are reporting for commercial games is the same issue.
I personally lost a lot of time trying to identify why the Everdrive GG was detecting some ROMs as Game Gear and others as SMS, and it turns out it's a bug related to the short filenames. I think what happens is that because FAT32 8.3 filenames ignore case, and store their names in upper-case ASCII, they end up having an extension of ".GG" instead of ".gg" and failing the extension checking that occurs when booting a ROM from the everdrive. You can see if a ROM is a short 8.3 filename or long filename in the Everdrive menu, because the short names will always be displayed in upper-case (even if they show as lowercase when mounting the SD card on a PC) and they won't display the . between the filename and its extension. Meanwhile, long filenames preserve case and show the extension separator.
The workaround for this is to rename "tinyname.gg" to "Really Long Filename.gg". I've tested this on personal homebrews, as well as various SMSpower ROMs and can confirm this works. I really wish this would get fixed soon!"
I renamed it mrultramrultramrultra.gg and it works perfectly. You might want to post this info somewhere.
I'd have thought a mixed case filename would do the trick too.
[...] it turns out it's a bug related to the short filenames.

There's no check of file extension. It probably has changed in more recent versions?
The version I got working on a Game Gear had the region code of a SMS one ($4). I wonder why this is and yet works on a Game Gear. I guess it's because it has TMR in it?
I suspect the newer "os" uses the extension instead, for better compatibility with homebrew.
#1 - Can you set some includefiles in both banks, like suppose I want to have a few includes in bank 0 and some more in bank 1. Is this OK? Would I put the include files at the end of bank 0 before I start bank 1?
#2 - How would I bankswitch between banks, like suppose level 5 is in bank 0 and level 6 is in bank 1. Is it fairly easy to switch between banks 0 and 1 once level 5 is over?
If you go 64 KB you'll have 4 16 KB banks. I would suggest you to keep your code in bank 0 (and 1 eventually) and your assets (graphics, music, sfx, etc) in the remaining banks (1),2,3 ... and do bank-switching on 'slot 2' only, which is the easier approach I could think.
- banks 2-n will be mapped into slot 2 when needed, simply writing the needed bank number to memory location $FFFF (that's the minimalistic 'SEGA mapper').
How easy is it to hop to different banks if I want to split up the in-game code and put it in two different banks? Is there an example on how to bankswitch anywhere?
Life's a lot easier if you don't page out code. Just keep code and data separate, and use the top 16KB to access data.
You page by writing the bank number to $ffff. Assuming you have configured the ROM bank map for WLA DX sensibly, you can put a colon before a label to retrieve its bank number at compile time, so you just select the bank before using the label to access the data.
If you must page code, you need to change the page from a safe location that won't be affected by the paging, either in another slot, low ROM or RAM.

Q: How do I import my user-defined function without having to call the .py file it is in? To solve the problem of the (Python) IDLE not having a built-in "clear" function, I created a user-defined function [cls()], that I have stored in a functions.py file in my sys.path.
import sys, functions

My user-defined function works, but I do not prefer always typing in:
functions.cls()

Amendment after Terry's comment
How do I reference my functions.py file with my environmental variable IDLESTARTUP? I have tried the aforementioned by editing my .bash_profile with: $IDLESTARTUP="/Users/Mac/Documents/functions.py" export $IDLESTARTUP and starting up my IDLE using the command with the appropriate flag (idle3.6 -s). [Note: comment image added above in the original question, for reference]
[]1
How can I make it so I only have to type in my user-defined function, and not my .py file name?
cls()

A: From the beginning of section 3 of the IDLE doc, available both online and as Help => IDLE Help.
"Upon startup with the -s option, IDLE will execute the file referenced by the environment variables IDLESTARTUP or PYTHONSTARTUP. IDLE first checks for IDLESTARTUP; if IDLESTARTUP is present the file referenced is run.  If IDLESTARTUP is not present, IDLE checks for PYTHONSTARTUP.  Files referenced by these environment variables are convenient places to store functions that are used frequently from the IDLE shell, or for executing import statements to import common modules."
In addition, -r file will run the file.
Currently, the startup files are not rerun when one restarts the Shell.

A: You should be able to import cls this way:
from functions import cls
Then you can call the method this way:
cls()
