The Uganda Railway at the beginning of 20th century
Uganda at the end of 19th century and the events leading up to the construction of the Uganda Railway
Updated Sunday, 27 December by rogerfarnworth.com
I recently picked up a copy of each of the two volumes of 'Permanent Way' written by M.F. Hill and published in 1949. The first volume [1] is a history of 'The Uganda Railway' written in the 1940s when the railway company was known as 'The Kenya and Uganda Railways and Harbours' and published at the end of that decade under the jurisdiction of the new 'East African Railways and Harbours' which was formed to formally include the infrastructure in the modern country of Tanzania.
Hill's first volume provides a detailed history of the Uganda Railway until just after the end of World War II. This article covers the period from the beginning of the 20th century up to WW1.
The railway was handed over to the administration of the East Africa Protectorate on 1st October 1903. [1: p236] Before that date, the line was in use first, until 1901, primarily as a construction line. The period from the beginning of 1902 until 31st March 1903 was treated as one accounting year. In that first 'year', the working deficit of the line was £49.690. This figure excludes interest on the capital cost of the line. [1: p236]
The actual capital cost was assessed as £5,502,592 which had been financed by annuities by HM Treasury. An annual payment of £319,112 [1: p242] serviced these annuities. When they were finally discharged in November 1925, the Uganda Railway had cost the British taxpayer just under £7,909,295. [1: p243]
In the years following its opening a working deficit was converted into a working profit. Yearly figures are provided by Hill within the narrative of following chapters of his book.
1903/1904 – -£60,101 [1: p280]
1904/1905 – £2,639 [1: p280]
1905/1906 – £56,678 [1: p290]
1909/1910 – figures not provided by Hill
1911/1912 – £131,373 [1: p320]
Hill provides a snapshot of the situation on the Uganda Railway on 31st March 1905: "the staff of the railway consisted of 53 Europeans, 176 Eurasians, 1,254 Indians and 3,050 Africans. … The railway had 70 engines, 209 units of coaching stock and 947 units of good stock. The engines consisted of the 34 English-built Class F and 36 American-built Class B, which had all been used on construction." [1: p290]
The profit margins quoted above were struck "without making provision for the renewal of wasting assets, without any charge for interest on the capital cost, and it accrued not to the railway, but to the Treasury of the East Africa Protectorate." [1: p280] This was done so as to meet the debt owed to the British taxpayer both resulting from grant-aid and the loans made to cover the costs of building the railway. The grant-aid to the East Africa Protectorate was £2,843,383. The charge on the capital cost, as noted above, was £319,112 per annum. [1: p281]
Winston Churchill in 1907, taken in London close to the time of his African Safari. [4]Winston Churchill visited Uganda in 1907. Speaking about that time he commented that the Uganda Railway was "one of the most romantic and wonderful railways in the world." [2: p3]
He writes: "Short has been the life, many the vicissitudes, of the Uganda Railway. The adventurous enterprise of a Liberal Government, it was soon exposed, disowned, to the merciless criticism of its parents. Adopted as a cherished foundling by the Conservative party, it almost perished from mismanagement in their hands. Nearly ten thousand pounds a mile were expended upon its construction; and so eager were all parties to be done with it and its expense that, instead of pursuing its proper and natural route across the plateau to the deep waters of Port Victoria, it fell by the way into the shallow gulf of Kavirondo, lucky to get so far. It is easy to censure, it is impossible not to criticize, the administrative mistakes and miscalculations which tarnished and nearly marred a brilliant conception. But it is still more easy, as one traverses in forty-eight hours countries which ten years ago would have baffled the toilsome marches of many weeks, to underrate the difficulties in which unavoidable ignorance and astonishing conditions plunged the pioneers. The British art of "muddling through" is here seen in one of its finest expositions. Through everything—through the forests, through the ravines, 5through troops of marauding lions, through famine, through war, through five years of excoriating Parliamentary debate, muddled and marched the railway; and here at last, in some more or less effective fashion, is it arrived at its goal." [2: p4-5]
On the Cow-catcher. (Mr. Currie, Mr. Marsh, Col. Wilson, Sir J. Hayes-Sadler, Mr. Churchill.) [2: p7]Churchill continues: "The Uganda Railway is already doing what it was never expected within any reasonable period to do. It is paying its way. It is beginning to yield a profit—albeit a small profit—upon its capital charge. Projected solely as a political railway to reach Uganda, and to secure British predominance upon the Upper Nile, it has already achieved a commercial value. Instead of the annual deficits upon working expenses which were regularly anticipated by those most competent to judge, there is already a substantial profit of nearly eighty thousand pounds a year. And this is but the beginning, and an imperfect beginning; for at present the line is only a trunk, without its necessary limbs and feeders, without its deep-water head at Kilindini, without its full tale of steamers on the lake; above all, without its natural and necessary extension to the Albert Nyanza." [2: p6]
Winston Churchill was clearly impressed with the line, in the state that he found it, in 1907.
It was under the tenure of Sir Percy Girouard as Governor that serious thought was first given to real development of the railway and other transport infrastructure – railway, roads, hospitals and schools, and agricultural, veterinary and social services. "The railway needed a deep water quay, or pier, at Kilindini, and branch lines to bring traffic from potentially productive areas, remote from the main line." [1: p307]
Sir Percy decided that a branch line North from Nairobi through coffee and sisal plantations and on into Kikuyuland was needed, with the hope that later on it could be extended towards Mt. Kenya. This did not receive support from the Treasury until the plan was revised to request permission to build a 'tramway' thirty miles long from Nairobi to Thinks. [1: p307]
The Jinja Pier was built in 1912, it once served as the main export gate for Uganda. The the railway tracks can still be seen in the timber planking of the deck. [3]Winston Churchill was a significant player in a decision to build a line from Jinja to Kakindi (the Busoga Railway) which was reviewed in 1911 as the port facilities developed were inadequate. A decision was taken to extend the line to Namasagali where better quay/port facilities could be developed. An amount of close to £170,000 was allowed for this line which could become a longer route to Lake Albert, a project put forward by Churchill which would have cost around £1.25 million. [1: p309-310]
Magadi Soda Works in 1994 (my photograph).
At a similar time, negotiations were ongoing with the Magadi Soda Company, a new venture, which was given a site at Kilindini to erect godowns and a pier for the storage and shipment of its products. The plan was to build a 106 mile branch line to Lake Magadi to permit economic transport of soda products to the coast. Capital of about £1.3 million was set aside for the whole project on the founding of the company. The Treasury agreed to £350,000 of expenditure on the mail line to upgrade buildings, locomotive fleet and rolling stock. [1: p311]
In order to expedite the development of facilities at Kilindini, the Railway took over responsibility for the port in August 1911.
In 1912 David Lloyd-George, then Chancellor of the Exchequer, pushed a bill through parliament in the UK which allocated a loan £500,000 for the development of the port at Kilindini. In addition a series of smaller sums were agreed to cover the cost of: the line to Namasagali; the branch line to Thika; and the main line improvement to facilitate the branch to Lake Magadi. [1: p322]
However, the story of these years before the beginning of WW1 was one of inadequate stock and locomotives, with investment never quite keeping pace with demand. [1: p322ff]
In Uganda in 1912, "In addition to the loan of £170,000 for the building of the Busoga Railway, His Majesty's Government granted a loan of £125,000 … for the improvement of communications in the Eastern province of the protectorate and the building of a short railway from Kampala to Port Bell on Lake Victoria." [1: p327]
By March 1913, the Locomotive Superintendent reported: "With the power on order, there will be some 100 engines on the line, eighteen of which will be Mallet engines, equalling 36 ordinary type engines." [1: p332] Of these Mallets, two were already in service and seemed, after some initial problems with the lack of familiarity of staff with the the locomotives, to be giving effective service. By the middle of 1913, eight Mallet engines had been delivered along with three further shunting engines.
The original Thika Railway tracks before the upgrading and refurbishment in the 21st century. [5]Major Taylor, the General Manager, reported in March 1913, that the 6 mile long Port Bell railway was under construction and that the Thika line would be open to traffic by the end of October. [1: p333] His promise came to fruition with the opening of the line and in the same month a daily passenger service was inaugurated between Nairobi and Mombasa. [1: p337]
At the end of 1912, the Magadi Railway had reached Lake Magadi. However, it was not until 1914 that the Magadi Works was ready to start production. In the spring of the same year Parliament approved another loan to the East Africa Protectorate – a sum of £3 million of which £610,000 was allocated to Kilindini harbour, £957,000 to railway improvements. There remained £90,000 available from the previous loan associated with the harbour. This meant £700,000 could be spent on the renewed works at Kilindini. [1: p340-341]
Part of the main line improvement was the construction of 18 new crossing stations which would greatly increase the frequency of trains and the strengthening of bridges and viaducts to allow for a maxim.axle load of 15 tons. [1: p335, p337] Also of paramount importance was the strengthening of the rails from 50lb to 80lb and the replacememt of the sleepers with 109lb steel. The old 50lb rail was to be use for the branch lines. [1: p337]
By 1914, "the European population of the East Africa Protectorate was few more than 3,000. Of the 2,321 men of fighting age – including civil servants, missionaries and aliens – 1,987 served in the armed forces of the Crown, some for part of the war and some throughout the war." [1: p342] The barest minimum of expatriates remained in the Protectorate throughout WW1.

Q: Example of Girsanov change of density with finite relative entropy, but with infinite integral over squared changed drift Let $(\Omega, (\mathcal F_t), \mathbb P)$ denote the usual Wiener space where $\Omega = C[0,\infty)$, etc., and where $(W_t)_{t \geq 0}$ denotes the Wiener process.
Let $Z \in L^1(\mathbb P)$ with $Z > 0$, $\mathbb P$-almost surely. Let $Z_t = \mathbb E [ Z | \mathcal F_t ]$ denote the density process, which is a positive UI martingale.
By e.g. [Kallenberg, 2002, Lemma 18.21], there exists a process $\theta_t$ such that
$Z_t = \exp \left( \int_0^t \theta_s \ d W_s - \frac 1 2 \int_0^t \theta_s^2 \ ds \right)$ for all $t \geq 0$.
Let $\mathbb Q$ be defined, as usual, by $d \mathbb Q/d \mathbb P = Z$. If $\mathbb E^{\mathbb Q} \left[ \int_0^{\infty} \theta_t^2 \ d t \right] <\infty$, it is not hard to show (see below) that the relative entropy
$\mathcal H(\mathbb Q;\mathbb P) := \mathbb E^{\mathbb Q} \left[ \ln Z \right]$ is finite and is in fact given by
$\mathcal H(\mathbb Q;\mathbb P) = \frac 1 2  \mathbb E^{\mathbb Q} \left[ \int_0^{\infty} \theta_t^2 \ d t \right]$.
I do not succeed in showing the reverse direction, i.e. that finite relative entropy implies square integrability of $(\theta_t)$, (unless $Z$ is bounded from above and below by a constant). I expect that there exists a counterexample to the general statement.

Can you provide such a counterexample?

Proof of $\mathcal H(\mathbb Q;\mathbb P) = \frac 1 2  \mathbb E^{\mathbb Q} \left[ \int_0^{\infty} \theta_t^2 \ d t \right]$ if $\mathbb E^{\mathbb Q} \left[ \int_0^{\infty} \theta_t^2 \ d t \right] <\infty$:
\begin{align*} \mathbb E^{\mathbb Q} | \ln Z | & = \mathbb E^{\mathbb Q} \left|  \int_0^{\infty} \theta_s \ d W_s - \frac 1 2 \int_0^{\infty} \theta_s^2 \ d s \right| \\
& \leq \left( \mathbb E^{\mathbb Q} \left[\int_0^{\infty} \theta_s^2 \ ds \right] \right)^{1/2} + \frac 1 2 \mathbb E^{\mathbb Q} \left[ \int_0^{\infty} \theta_s^2 \ d s \right] < \infty.\end{align*}
In particular, $\ln Z$ is $\mathbb Q$-integrable, so that $\mathcal H(\mathbb Q;\mathbb P) = \mathbb E^{\mathbb Q} \ln Z < \infty$.
Furthermore,
\begin{align*}
\mathcal H(\mathbb Q;\mathbb P) - \frac 1 2 \mathbb E^{\mathbb Q} \left[\int_0^{\infty} \theta_t^2 \ d t \right]& = \mathbb E^{\mathbb Q} \left[ \ln Z - \frac 1 2 \int_0^{\infty} \theta_t^2 \ d t \right] \\
& = \mathbb E^{\mathbb Q} \left[ \int_0^{\infty} \theta_t \ d W_t - \int_0^{\infty} \theta_t^2 \ d t \right] \\
& = \mathbb E^{\mathbb Q} \left[\int_0^{\infty} \theta_t \ d W_t^{\mathbb Q} \right] = 0,
\end{align*}
where the expectation of the stochastic integral with respect to $W^{\mathbb Q} = W - \int_0^{\cdot} \theta_t \ d t$ vanishes since, by $\mathbb Q$-square integrability of $\theta$, this is in fact the expectation of a martingale that is null at zero.

A: I can now answer my own question. There exists no such counterexample. I can show that finite relative entropy in this setting implies $\mathbb E^{\mathbb Q} \int_0^{\infty} \theta_t^2 \ d t < \infty$. This can be proven by a localization argument using stopping times $(\tau_n)$, such that $Z^{\tau_n} \geq \frac 1 n$ and $[Z]^{\tau_n} \leq n^2$.

Hands on Houses is partnering with Tamilnadu Village Outreach to work with a people called the Irular people. They are locally known as the "Snake Catchers", and many end up in bonded labour.
Bonded labor is a form of slavery. Employers offer prospective workers an "advance loan" which through a complex system of further (usually tiny) loans, payments, mounting interest and sheer dishonesty they are never able to pay back. In constant debt to their "employer" and often threatened by violence, these people and their families can remain de facto slaves for years. Illiteracy and difficulty in accessing the legal system doesn't help. Bonded labor is illegal in India, and government as well as NGOs (for example the International Justice Mission) are helping people like Venkatesen & Pachaiammal break out of situations like this. Once free, however, people need opportunities for a sustainable livelihood. Sadly, faced with a lack of opportunities, some Irular return to bonded labor again as the only viable option for survival.

BASEMENT – Jeremiah – Continuing through the book of Jeremiah, this chapter and verse study explores Jeremiah himself, his challenges and his message to the people of Israel. In doing so we must ask how this applies to us today.
Sometimes we get stuck in the here and now, burdened by the trials of life. Our focus turns inward and often we struggle to take one step after the other. The Bible is rich in assurances of our future. This series will be an uplifting and encouraging time to gain strength knowing that God is in control and He is already holding the future… and us. This will not be a deep theological discussion but a true down-to-earth look at the fact that there truly is a better tomorrow. This will be just the right series for everyone, whether troubled or not, in deep despair or joyfully living. Drawing from Psalms and the writings of John, we will have laid out for us blessings that we sometimes overlook.

Washington, DC—On the 30th annual observance of the National Day of Prayer, the Institute on Religion & Democracy (IRD) reflects on suffering North Koreans, whose plight is sometimes overlooked during the current focus on talks with their repressive regime. As faithful Americans unify in public prayer for the nation, IRD urges Christians and church groups also to pray and petition on behalf of oppressed North Koreans living under the world's most murderous regime. Its tyranny includes concentration camps and death for thousands of Christians.
The National Day of Prayer's origin dates back to a 1952 joint resolution authorized by Congress and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. In 1988 the law was amended to designate the first Thursday of May as the official day of observance.
"Monstrous tyrants must sometimes be engaged in pursuit of a wider justice in a complex, fallen world. But all who esteem humanity as image bearers of God must admit to this necessity's regrettable tragedy. God may in such situations weep and ordain at the same time.

Q: Angular 2 dynamic tabs loader
I want to create a dynamic tabs loader using angular 2 material this
  is the syntax which I want to support

<generic-tabs [tabs]="tabs" tabVisibleField="name">
            <test-cmp [tabContent] testData="hello"></test-cmp>
            <test-cmp [tabContent] testData="hello from cmp one"></test-cmp>
            <test-cmp [tabContent] testData="hello from cmp 2"></test-cmp></generic-tabs>

And inside the component I want to render tabs using material design
  and bind to each tab a component which contains tabContent
  This is the template for generic tabs

<md-tab-group *ngIf="componentsReferences && componentsReferences.length > 0">
    <md-tab *ngFor="let componentRef of componentsReferences; let i=index" (click)="onTabClick($event, i)">
        <template md-tab-label>{{getDisplayField(i)}}</template>

        <template md-tab-content>
            //inject the component for this tab
        </template>
    </md-tab>
</md-tab-group>

What I don't know is how to select all the component which are are
  inside the generic-tabs tag and make angular to create them

A:
I found the solution using multiple content transclusion

<md-tab-group *ngIf="tabsContentComponents" [selectedIndex]="selectedIndex" (selectChange)="onTabClick($event)">
    <md-tab *ngFor="let componentRef of tabsContentComponents; let i=index">
        <template md-tab-label>
            <tab-header [tabHeader]="tabHeaders[i]"> </tab-header>
        </template>
        <template md-tab-content *ngIf="componentRef">
            <template [ngTemplateOutlet]="componentRef"></template>
        </template>
    </md-tab>
</md-tab-group>

@Component({
    moduleId: module.id,
    selector: 'generic-tabs',
    templateUrl: 'generic-tabs.html',
    encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None,
    styleUrls: [
        './generic-tabs.css'
    ]
})
export class GenericTabsComponent implements AfterViewInit {
    @Input() tabHeaders: Array<TabHeaderModel>;
    @Input() selectedIndex: number = 0;
    @Input()
    set tabErrors(errors: Array<ITabError>) {
        for (let e of errors) {
            this.setTabError(e);
        }
    }

    @Input()
    set resetErrorIndex(tabIndex: number) {
        if (tabIndex < 0 || tabIndex >= this.tabErrors.length) {
            return;
        }

        this.setTabError({ tabIndex, errorColor: "", errorIcon: "", errorsCount: 0 });
    }

    @ContentChildren(TemplateRef) tabsContentTemplateRef: QueryList<TemplateRef<any>>;
    @Output() onTabChange: EventEmitter<ITabChangeEvent> = new EventEmitter<ITabChangeEvent>();

    private tabsContentComponents: Array<any> = [];

    ngAfterViewInit() {
        this.mapTabs();
        this.tabsContentTemplateRef.changes.subscribe(this.remapTabs.bind(this));
    }

    remapTabs() {
        this.tabsContentComponents = [];
        this.mapTabs();
    }

    mapTabs() {
        this.tabsContentTemplateRef.map(t => {
            this.tabsContentComponents.push(t);
        });
    }

    onTabClick($event) {
        this.selectedIndex = $event.index;
        this.onTabChange.emit({ $event, selectedTab: this.tabHeaders[this.selectedIndex], selectedTabIndex: this.selectedIndex});
    }

    private setTabError(e: ITabError) {
        this.tabHeaders[e.tabIndex].errorsCount = e.errorsCount;
        this.tabHeaders[e.tabIndex].errorsIcon = e.errorIcon;
        this.tabHeaders[e.tabIndex].errorsIconColor = e.errorIcon;
    }
}

Using this component I can use the tabs to render specific component's in their
  content.

<generic-tabs *ngIf="selectedItem && formRef && formRef.editMode" [tabHeaders]="tabHeaders" (onTabChange)="log($event)">
                <template>
                    <data-grid>
                    </data-grid>
                </template>
                <template>
                    Pay Types
                </template>
                <template>
                    <shift-calendar></shift-calendar>
                </template>
                <template>
                    <holiday-calendar></holiday-calendar>
                </template>
            </generic-tabs>

Consider All Risks / The Big Risk
A Feature film by Claude Sautet
Produced by Les Films Odéon, Mondex Films
Abel Davis is a criminal, hunted in Italy. The police are closing in, so he and his pal Raymond arrange to flee back to France with Abel's wife, Thérèse, and their two young sons. Abel and Raymond commit a brazen robbery to get funds, killing two men; in the escape, more die. Abel arrives in Nice with the boys, calls his pals in Paris, and gets the brush-off. Reluctantly, they send a stranger, Eric Stark, to bring Abel to Paris, but he's getting the message he's on his own. Honor, friendship, and debt now count for little. What can Abel, a wanted man with two small children and only Stark as a friend, do? "Never give ground," he tells Eric, but how long can he hold to his code?

By the time Claude Sautet's Classe tous risques was released in 1960, what many consider to be the classic film noir period in Hollywood was already over. If Orson Welles' Touch of Evil served as a sort of grand finale of the movement, one could possibly call Classe tous risques the denouement. This is what happens when the party's over.
Abel Davos, played by granite-jawed Lino Ventura (Touchez pas au grisbi), has been on the run for nearly a decade, having been convicted of multiple crimes back in France and sentenced to death. He has moved his wife, Therese (Simone France), and two children all over Europe, from France to Switzerland and down to Italy, trying to stay ahead of the law. Having had enough of the fugitive life, he plans to return to Paris and hide in plain sight. He puts the family on a train in Milan, with the intention of pulling one last job in order to score enough cash to get them over the border. He and his partner Raymond (Stan Krol) knock over a couple of bank couriers and high-tail it for the coast. A daring chase ensues, their adrenaline pumping, the joyful rush of being bad running through their veins.
It's a feeling that can't last. The cops catch up with the crooks, and Raymond and Therese end up dead. Abel and the boys are stuck in Nice, and the running man has to call on his former colleagues to provide him transport back home. Unable to come themselves, they send a fresh face whom no one knows, a local tough named Eric Stark (Jean-Paul Belmondo, Pierrot le fou). Eric turns out to be a stand-up guy, and he transports the family back to Paris in the back of an ambulance. It's a white-knuckle drive, the situation as touchy as it would be if his cargo was dynamite or unstable nitroglycerin. Nerves are tested even further when Eric stops the car to get between what looks like a lover's spat, punching out the man, and offering the girl, an actress named Liliane (Sandra Milo, who also played an actress in 8 1/2), a ride the rest of the way.
This first part of Classe tous risques is as tough and full of bravado as any Hollywood noir. First-time director Sautet, who later helmed Un coeur en hiver, works with multiple writers, but the main one is Jose Giovanni. Giovanni wrote the source novel and was the real-life criminal who is perhaps better known as the author of Le trou, which was based on his own failed prison break. Together, these two see something even more bleak at the heart of the genre than their more stylistic American cousins usually allowed for. The gunning down of Abel's wife and best friend is a shocking event, and it's one that Abel can't recover from. He asks Eric to put on a brave face for the kids, but for him that's all it is. There is no joy left in his life. To match this sadness, Sautet and cinematographer Ghislain Clouquet abandon any flashy demonstrations of style. While Milan moves with the crackling pace of a regular crime thriller, including some incredible scenes racing through the streets of the Italian city with the camera set up in the first-person position, putting the audience behind the wheel, Paris is an altogether different landscape. That high-speed flight with Raymond is the last time you will likely notice the camerawork at all. Once Abel lands in his old stomping grounds, the business turns somber.
Though Abel has spent the last several years constantly moving, he hasn't changed at all. One of his friends, the hotel owner Raul Fargier (Claude Cerval), even says as much. Ironically, all of Abel's former cohorts, who have stayed exactly where they always have been, are not the tough customers Abel once ran with. They've settled into their quiet life and gotten soft. Both Fargier and barman Riton (Michel Ardan) have married and are living a cushy, honest life. Only their friend Jack (Jean-Pierre Zola) has remained in the game, and he is the worse for it, having lost his nerve and spent most of his time in jail. Abel knew that something was up as soon as he saw they had sent Stark to rescue him and not come themselves, despite the incredible debt they all owe him. Adding this to the loss he suffered to get there, he realizes that there is nowhere left to run. The straight life is out of his reach and apparently without honor, but Jack is a living example of what can happen to a man who doesn't know when to get out. The criminal life has left Abel with few options.
For the rest of the movie, Abel soberly tries to put his affairs in order and find a way out of Paris so that he can leave his sons with a new opportunity for a life out of their father's shadow. The title Classe tous risques translates as "consider all risks," which is far more accurate a description of his mission than the original U.S. title, "The Big Risk," which both simplifies and romanticizes the task at hand. It implies Abel is in a good place, when he's anything but. Rather, the fugitive is all alone.
The only person that remains for Abel to trust is Eric, and though they develop a pseudo-father/son relationship, rather than the master imparting his wisdom to the apprentice, Abel keeps Eric out of his schemes and even encourages him to walk the straight and narrow. Classe tous risques was made and released right on the heels of Godard's Breathless, the film that would make Jean-Paul Belmondo a star, but without seeing the actor as Eric Stark, you don't really see the true depth of his talent. It's interesting that in the Godard film he played a swaggering wannabe gangster, wowing audiences with his macho posturing, but in Sautet's movie, when he's playing the real thing, the character is far more self-assured and practically meek. He doesn't have to show off, nor does he have to hide his sensitive side. He's good with the kids, and his romance with Liliane is sweet. Though Belmondo would often trade on the cool image Breathless earned him, Classe tous risques proves there was more to him than bravado.
No less should have been expected from a film as grounded as this one, either. As a travelogue, there are few films of the period that will show you the same perspective of its various locales. The first shots of Paris, with the Eiffel Tower in the background, comes across as surprisingly intimate, reflecting the mood of Abel's homecoming. Were it a happier occasion, Sautet could have shown us more flamboyant aspects of the city's considerable charm, but that would inject joy back into the proceedings. If crime doesn't pay, it also can't be a tourist taking a fancy vacation. Plus, as viewers, we're not meant to enjoy the sights, either. Bucking the normal noir convention of first person narration, which would usually give Abel a chance to reflect on his life and misdeeds, Sautet uses a cold, expository third person narrator that establishes a distance between the viewer and the events on screen. We are mere voyeurs, and as such, are meant to watch Abel's actions with the same coldness with which he executes them.
Not that we aren't supposed to feel sorry for Abel--I think Sautet actually wants us to like him--it's just that he's going to ration the kinder moments like a rare delicacy. Abel may be a brutal killer, but he's also, strangely, a sweetheart. He is at his most human when he is with his family, and after being separated from them, the lone glimpse of this quality comes when he is waiting by the faucet with the young doctor's assistant in Eric's building. Abel is gentle and joking with her, and she repays this kindness later by providing him with an escape when the dragnet is closing on him. It's like Sautet is showing him--and therefore, us--that good deeds are paid back in kind, just as bad deeds lead us to where Abel is now.
And where Abel ends up is a pretty dark place. There are many ways that Sautet and Giovanni could have concluded Classe tous risques, many endings they could have concocted for Abel, both glorious and ignominious. The fact that they choose to end it the way they do, once again pulling away from the action and letting the third-person narrator explain where their protagonist is heading, is all too fitting. To put it any other way would be to restore the glamour to the gangster genre they spent the previous 107 minutes removing.

Tips On How To Make The United States Terrorism-Free
With the Middle East and some African countries experiencing wanton terrorist attacks, the entire world must join forces to combat terrorism.
These terrorist organizations are a threat to world peace. Hundreds of thousands of people have also lost their lives.
The U.S. has also suffered a series of terrorist attacks in the past. Therefore, no nation is safe from terrorism.
Here are tips on how the United States government and citizens can make the country terrorism-free.
1. Create Awareness On The Effects Of Terrorism On The Country
Violent extremists are sweet talkers. They know how to coax people to accept their ideology and do their bidding.
These terrorist organizations are also well-funded. And their paymasters are ready drawn more people in agony. The United States' involvement in the fight against terrorism across the globe makes them a target.
The September 11 incident is still fresh on everyone's minds. It's a day the United States government and citizens will never forget. But now is not the time to dwell on past events and lose focus. If the U.S. wants to prevent such events from happening in the future, all hands should be on deck.
So, how can the government prevent terrorist attacks in the future? One way is by creating awareness. Educate people on the dangers of sponsoring terrorism or getting involved one way or the other.
No country ever profits from terrorism. Look at Iraq, Somalia, Nigeria, Pakistan, India, and others. You will find that the regions facing these terrorist attacks are retrogressing economically. Poverty is also unimaginably high.
So, there should be radical campaigns to educate people about the dangers of terrorism. Make them understand the dangers of making themselves an instrument in the hands of these terrorists. The campaign can be done at the grassroots level, so it reaches everyone.
Communication has massively improved and become more discrete. People can now make encrypted calls. And in such a scenario, it would be challenging to know the caller or receiver's intent.
Again, let's not forget that citizens can be radicalized and empowered to do the bidden of these terrorists. The terrorists don't have to be present in the target country to carry out an attack. They can use anyone who buys their ideology and is willing to make themselves an agent of destruction, all for the sake of money or fame.
But with proper education and enlightenment on the severity of being an agent of terrorism in the United States, no citizen or international visitor would want to get involved in such evil acts.
2. Surveillance On Social Media And Other Online Websites:
The emergence of social media has made doing business, communicating, and knowing things happening in other parts of the world with ease. You don't need to travel to Iraq or Somalia to learn about the series of terrorist attacks.
But just as there are enormous benefits, social media proves to be the right channel for Jihadists to find, recruit, and radicalize their members.
A large population of people uses social media. And knowing how powerful these platforms are, Jihadists are doing everything within their power to recruit people.
The former Al-Qaeda leader, Anwar Al-Awlaki, was tagged "the internet's bin laden" because of his aggressive Jihadi activities online.
Before his death, Al-Awlaki tried using YouTube videos, blogs, and Facebook to recruit and charm his Jihadi followers to carry out terrorist attacks in the United States of America.
Faisal Shahzad, the unsuccessful Times Square Bomber and a terrorist, was linked to Al-Awlaki. Both of them were communicating via e-mail.
Al-Awlaki always took to social media to praise acts of violence and terrorism, whether successful or not.
The truth is these violent extremists are recruiting and preparing their members in countries we think are terrorist-free. And they can attack at any given time.
So, now is not the time for the U.S. government and American citizens to rest on their oars. The war against terrorism is real and must be fought strategically and continuously.
To fight against these terrorists online, social media users need to start posting comments that counter these Jihadists' messages. By so doing, such messages won't have any adverse effect or radicalize whoever sees it.
Social media users can also be encouraged to police online sites and social media platforms. They should also report Jihadi content to social media operators and the right law enforcement agents for immediate action.
Once reported, law enforcement agents should also take drastic measures to take down such content. And as such, there should be collaboration between the government and the various social media operators.
Allowing content from Jihadists to remain on the internet or social media platform longer can radicalize people and lead to domestic terrorism. So, we must act whenever we come across such content.
YouTube, Facebook, and other social platforms are fighting terrorists in their little way. For example, YouTube allows users to flag inappropriate contents, which are later reviewed by in-office staff for further action on the account.
However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to reduce in-office staffing, YouTube has had to rely on technology to review and remove inappropriate content from the platform.
So, in a nutshell, the government and U.S. citizens must unite to fight terrorism in the land. It's not a job for the government alone. There should be constant surveillance on all social media platforms. And any violent extremist content online should be taken down with immediate effect.
3. Build A More Vigilant Public:
We come across reports of terrorist attacks from different parts of the world now and then. But the painful part is that most of these attacks would have been repelled or avoided if only the victims were vigilant enough.
Violent extremists are everywhere. They are not perpetrating violent acts in the United States at scale because of their security level.
But even though the United States of America is not fearful but bold and innovative, the government and people should not rest on their oars until the last terrorist on the planet is taken down.
A vigilant public can help make the United States terrorism-free. The Times Square terrorist attack organized by Faisal Shahzad is a clear example of how vigilance can combat terrorism. Law enforcement agents prevented the bombing, thanks to tips received from some vigilante individuals.
So, people should be made to report suspicious activities without hesitation. They shouldn't play detective but alert law enforcement agents as quickly as possible, before the situation gets out of hand.
If you see strange faces in your area, observe what the person is up to and alert law enforcement agents as quickly as you can.
On the other hand, law enforcement agents should swiftly respond to such reports, so there won't be any casualty before they arrive at the scene.
4. Tracking The Entry And Exit Of Foreigners:
No one travels to a foreign land without a motive, not to mention a faraway country like the United States of America.
The September 11 terrorist attack should give the U.S. government insight into how it can make the country terrorism-free. The events leading to the attack showed that the government could have prevented the attacks from happening.
How could they have achieved this? It's by tracking the movements of foreigners in the country. If a foreigner is in the country for business but found doing something else, such an individual should be brought in for questioning.
One of the September 11 hijackers came into the U.S. to study the English language. But the shocking thing is that he never showed up in class any day.
You can see that the attack would have been averted if only the terrorist were tracked.
But the unfortunate thing is there was no system in place that could alert law enforcement of such the student's absence from school while in the country. Doing so would help them to uncover the terrorist's plot.
Another shocking thing is that several of the hijackers perpetrated the September 11 attack were in the country with expired visas. So, even if the school didn't alert law enforcement of one of the terrorist's absences from class, the expired visa situation would have helped.
So, tracking the entry and exit of any foreign visitor would help make the United States' fight against terrorism successful. I-94 form tracks entry and exists, but it's not that effective in tracking potential violent extremists.
Advanced technology can be deployed to help make the process more effective.
5. Encourage Information Sharing And Corporation With Other Countries:
Terrorism is a global issue. It's not a fight for the United States of America alone. And the more the world recognizes this, the better.
The fight against terrorism is not only biting hard on the U.S. economy. The government's effort to bring violent extremists to book is limited by the lack of information and corporation from other countries.
So, every country should be made accountable. Countries need to boost internal intelligence, information gathering, and sharing. The U.S. should have easy access to the names of terrorists in various countries.
Placing a terrorist on a wanted list and sharing information with other countries will help prevent such violent extremists from traveling to other countries. It will also help to prevent another terrorist attack and reduce the spread of terrorists to other regions.
Real-time information sharing and access to terrorist-identity-related data would equip the U.S. government with the technique, information, and technology needed to prevent violent extremists from exploiting the country's travel system.
The screening personnel and law enforcement agent should have the capacity to quickly screen and vet every traveler via access to data and systems to identify and capture terrorists at the airport.
6. Pay Attention To International Students:
As the U.S. continues to witness an inflow of international students, care must be taken to stop violent extremists from entering the country.
International students studying in the United States make up 5.5 percent of the higher education sector's entire student population. That is, over a million students are admitted to schools in the country each year.
With such a large population of students flocking the country, it's likely that some may have ulterior motives. Therefore, the United States government needs to be more vigilant and ensure that international students are well-profiled before entering the country.
Entry and exit tracking should be a top priority if the government is serious about winning the war against terrorism.
The activities of international students must be monitored. If one is in the country to study and doesn't show up in class for a couple of weeks or months, he or she should be arrested and deported if there's no valid reason for the individual's absence from school.
The September 11 terrorist attack shows why the government needs to monitor every international student in the country. The process might be expensive and tedious, but the result would make the country terrorist-free.
Technology can also help to make the process much easier and effective. Schools should be mandated to give reports of every foreign student's attendance and other insight that might help law enforcement agents identify and arrest those with ulterior motives.
The current successes of the United States of America's counter-terrorism fights must be sustained. Now is not the time for the government to rest on our oars. The U.S. government will fight terrorists for the foreseeable future. And with the help of a vigilant public, the fight will be won.
These terrorists are well-funded. And they have access to powerful technologies and networks. But with the United States government and the citizen's effort, the country won't suffer another devastating terrorist attack.

Warnings about the dangers of distracted driving while using a cell phone are prevalent these days, but cell phone use while driving may also put family relationships in jeopardy, says University of Minnesota professor Paul Rosenblatt.
The same factors that make using a cell phone while driving more hazardous — longer reaction times and impaired attention — can also make family communication in that situation more risky, says Rosenblatt in an article in the current issue of Family Science Review. The article, authored by Rosenblatt and graduate student Xiaohui Li, provides a speculative theoretical analysis on the topic. Rosenblatt is a family social science professor in the university's College of Education and Human Development.
"If we assume that the relationship risks involved in talking on a cell phone while driving are similar to the driving risks — both tasks involve divided attention and distraction — we can develop ideas about how a family relationship may be impaired," Rosenblatt says in the article.
For example, studies have indicated that cell phone use while driving leads to slower reaction times on the road. This could translate to the driver's cell phone conversation as well.
"A delay in the conversation could be a problem if the person (spouse or partner) on the other end of the conversation interprets the delayed reaction as an indicator of ambivalence, of not having a ready answer or of hiding something. This all leads to upsetting the partner," Rosenblatt says.
And, what if the driver misses important details of the conversation? This could lead to misunderstandings and more hard feelings, he says.
"In general, cell phone usage while driving might lead to missed relationship stop lights, slow reactions to dangerous relationship circumstances, loss of control of one's part of the interaction, and interaction mistakes that could lead to conflict, hurt feelings, misunderstandings, and possibly even serious damage to the relationship," Rosenblatt says in the article.
The partner who is not driving might be worried about the driver's safety and may cut a conversation short so the driver can concentrate, but the driver might interpret that in a negative way.
In addition to the relationship problems created by talking on cell phone while driving, a number of problems arise that both people have when one of them is driving while talking on a cell phone.
The lack of visual cues including gestures, facial expressions and posture creates challenges. Poor cell phone reception and the noise from the automobile and the road can all contribute to misunderstandings, he says.
In the article, Rosenblatt explores five hypothetical examples of possible relationship problems that could arise when a driver is talking with a family member via cell phone. The examples he explores include the partner asking the driver to run an errand; a family member calls with good news; a family member calls with bad news; arguments over the phone and apologies over the phone. Each of the scenarios can be wrought with frustration and misunderstanding.
Most relationships can manage the added difficulties related to cell phone use.
"However, for couples in which things have been so difficult that they both are considering ending the relationship, problems arising from a difficult phone conversation, may push their relationship to the tipping point," Rosenblatt says.

Q: Auto numbering constraints in optimization problems The following code
\documentclass{report}
\begin{document}

\begin{equation}
\setlength\arraycolsep{1.5pt}
\begin{array}{l@{\qquad} r c r c r}
(P)     & z(P) = \min   &  cx \\
        & \mathrm{s.t.} &  Ax & = & b \\
        &               &   x & \in &  X \\
\end{array}
\end{equation}

\end{document}

produces a single equation number associated with the whole model as can be seen from the picture below.

How can I define a number for each constraint (without writing it myself)?
See example below.

A: This answer uses the optidef package. I appears to require writing the objective function differently to what was posted as an example. Otherwise, the function and the constraints are individually numbered.
The following examples illustrate four different usages, providing different alignments, and a long and short style of notation.
This is the result:

This is the code:
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{report}

\usepackage[nocomma]{optidef}

The chromium 17 build system apparently passes -mfloat-abi=softfp to all arm builds. This causes FTBFS on armhf as /usr/linux/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ not to end up in the include path list.
Some of the upstream .gyp/.gypi files need patching to not force softfp (maybe easiest is removing the explicit -mfloat-abi=softfp' lines and gcc use the appropriate defaults.
I am now trying a build with these files changed to see how it goes.
It built fine, I'll prepare a patch.
Should help with the armhf FTBFS. I am not entirely sure about the V8 part though.
Reopening again, this time looks like a missing build dependency.

Q: require giving 'not loaded' message despite file being loaded I have a module defined as follows:
define(
    ['backbone', 'View/Sidebar', 'View/ControlBar'],
    function() {
        ...
    }
);

In that module there is a method called loadView, which assigns a variable as follows:
loadView: function(name, bootstrap_function, into) {
    var _class  = require('View/'+name);
    ...
}

So, we can see that both View/Sidebar and View/ControlBar are being loaded by the define call (first arg). When I use require('Sidebar'), I get no errors, yet if I use require('ControlBar') I do get the notorious:
Error: Module name "View/ControlBar" has not been loaded yet for context: _

(http://requirejs.org/docs/errors.html#notloaded)
I have re-written, copied and pasted, verified that it is loaded in Firebug and so on but cannot for the life of me work out why I am getting this error 100% of the time.

A: I think this has something to do with how the arguments are called for require. I have found that the following throws an error
define(
    ['mymodule1', 'mymodule2'],
    function(mod1, mod2) {
        ...
        var x = require('mymodule2');
        ...
    }
);

Whereas the following does not:
define(
    ['mymodule1', 'mymodule2'],
    function() {
        ...
        var x = require('mymodule2');
        ...
    }
);

The difference is whether or not the loaded modules are declared as arguments to the function or not. At least this is the way that it seems to me, it does not, however, make much sense...


That's a template literal using back ticks. I have the styled-components plugin active but am using emotion, which is basically the same.
PS: There are no warning messages on the right side of the screen, just the annoying green highlight.
It indicates that another language (CSS in your case) is injected into that variable (so it allows syntax coloring and provide code completion).
The green background color can be changed at "Settings/Preferences | Editor | Color Scheme | General | Code | Injected language fragment"
