Manmarziyaan Movie Review: Deep Concept of Love Relationships
Last Updated 11:31 am, 15 Sep 2018 by Piyush Chugh
Manmarziyan movie hit the theaters yesterday and it presents the various angles of romance as well as love relationships. This type of film has come to the theaters after a long time. Manmarziyaan stars Abhishek Bachchan, Taapsee Pannu, and Vicky Kaushal as the main lead. The supporting actors in the film are Gurpreet Bhangu and Pavan Malhotra. Anurag Kashyap has directed the film and it is written by Kanika Dhillon. Here is the movie review of the film, Manmarziyaan.
Abhishek Bachchan and Taapsee Pannu have done a great job in Manmarziyaan. Also, the actor, Vicky Kausal is amazing in the horny act and presents himself confidently on the screen. Taapse Pannu has impressed everyone with her mind-blowing act in this movie. Abhishek Bachchan has also portrayed the character of a good guy in an easy manner. But it is Taapsee Pannu, who is the center of attraction of the film.
Kanika Dhillon has embedded everything about love relationships between young people in the film. The experiences they face while being in a romantic relationship before finding the perfect partner is shown in the film. Also, the dialogue writing has been superbly done and the conversations between Abhishek Kapoor and Taapsee Pannu are all the more alluring.
The music of the film is excellently chosen and portray the emotions in a strong manner. Songs namely Dhyaanchand, Halla, Daryaa, and Sacchi Mohabbat are simply amazing to listen. Each character's emotions have been portrayed on a great scale. Before the film's release also, it was the high-class music of Manmarziyaan by Amit Trivedi which helped it to gain the popularity.
Anurag Kashyap has been outstanding in his direction in the film. There is a sense of maturity in the film about love and relationships. And the cinematography of Manmarziyan is simply of high quality. The first part of the story is slow but it picks the pace in the second half. The editing of the film has been done in the right fashion to keep the story interesting.
Overall, we can say that Manmarziyaan is a very good film to watch and one should book his tickets in their nearby theaters this weekend. Meanwhile, let's have a look at the ratings it has received from the other critics.

The children of the abyss is the subject of Chapter 23. Imagine growing up in a one room dwelling with your parents and siblings—no privacy, no room to accumulate possessions, to pursue interests, or even find rest unless the others were all at rest. Imagine living that way while eating poorly, little full protein like meat, eggs, milk, cheese, and few fresh green vegetables. The privy would be outside, and used by numerous others, perhaps never cleaned, its vault allowed to accumulate waste for years before being cleaned out. You are required to attend school between ages 5 and 10.
Here's a little about the educational opportunities for children:
Compulsory education for children ages 5 to 10 began in 1870 with lots of exceptions available to parents who needed their children to work or who lived too far away from schools. Compulsory education for those ages became a much more serious effort in 1880, but the government didn't truly fund it until 1891. In 1899 the ages for compulsory education were expanded to include children 5-12 years of age.
Just because education was compulsory, didn't mean you actually attended school, because the financial pressures on your family might demand that you work.
Here's a bit about the laws concerning child labor:
In 1814, compulsory apprenticeship by indenture was abolished. The first law to regulate child labor was passed in 1802 to limit the hours performed in a factory or mill to 12 per day. In 1819, a minimum age for child labor in factories was set at 9 years with a maximum of 12 hours per day. In 1847, the maximum hours were changed to 10 and that was also applied to women. Child labor was prohibited below the age of 10 in 1878.
If you are a child of a poor family and you do go to school, you'll have to make up the time away from work. You'll probably do piece work in the evenings—work for which your parents would be paid by the piece—finishing clothes or preparing goods used in garment manufacturing or making things such as boxes, brushes, and a wide array of other small objects. That's assuming your parents can find such work and that you are fast enough at it to make the wages earned worthwhile.
Once you're 13 years old you either find a way to earn a living in the streets or find a job. If you're still relatively small, you have the advantage over adults looking for work when it comes to labor that must be done in tight spaces. You'll get paid less than an adult, but at least you have a job, right? If you are sufficiently malnourished that your growth has been stunted, you are even better off. You can work in a mill, where you can access parts of the steam-powered machinery that larger human beings can't reach. Be careful not to get any body parts caught in the machinery. You can work as a chimney sweep and crawl inside flues to clean them out. Don't get stuck. Your livelihood depends on your ability to squirm in and out with a minimum of time and effort. You must be efficient! If the city has nothing for you, then off you go to the mines that have very tight passages.
Upon reflection, perhaps the streets are a better idea. You could become a shoeblack and polish the shoes of those who can pay. Perhaps you could run a coster's barrow on the street, selling food or other items, offer shoe repair or the services of a locksmith. Still, your earnings are poor and the rents keep going up. You've left your family and now live with others teens in tight spaces, perhaps in an abandoned, condemned building. A life of crime is beginning to look attractive. And, of course, if all else fails, you can beg on the streets as long as the local police don't catch you or are sufficiently compensated to look the other way. One day, a chrismatic boy joins the ranks of your friends, and shows some initiative. "Some children perform as acrobats in traffic," he says, "risking injury to thrill audiences and perhaps earn a gratuity."
What I'm suggesting here is an early life much like that of the character Frederick Bledsoe in my novel The Surgeon's Mate : A Dismemoir. Here's an excerpt:
Simon eventually took their act to the streets around Leicester Square. Instead of scampering about in ruins, they performed in the road. Again, two boys gaped, pointed, and called attention, while their fellows dashed about among the traffic. Frederick and his pals leapt through the gap between the legs of walking and trotting horses or the wheels of carriages in motion. They capered over the backs of horses, climbed moving carriages and wagons, leapt from one vehicle to another, deftly avoiding the whips and swats of the drivers. Gripping spokes, they cartwheeled down the road attached to hansoms and growlers. If those driving or riding the conveyances became upset, or if a constable got involved, so much the better. The two boys calling attention to their fellow's feats also solicited donations. During times when crowds made their way to various performances at the square, the earnings doubled.
Among the Regal Rats, Simon's greatest competition for the boldest, most daring feats had always been Frederick. The two worked out increasingly dangerous street antics. With a sense that the larger society had tossed him away and preferred to ignore him, Frederick continued to feed on the attention he got. His goal was to shock audiences into remembering him. His craving for the attention grew so strong that he pushed Simon for more.
"Let's set up for the crowds leaving the halls as well," Frederick said.
"Too dangerous after dark," Simon said. "Not enough light, and you know how the pavers sweat once the sun goes down."
"We'll be more careful." Frederick turned to the other boys to make an appeal. "We can do it for the money, can't we, Rats?"
He'd touched upon a motivating force. The boys were doing better than ever keeping themselves housed and fed, but they wanted more comfort. Currently, they sat around an abandoned saw mill where they slept at night. The business had closed down after a fire burned half the structure.
"Bertram and I found lodgings in Great Windmill Street as might take us all," Alex said. "We just need enough chink."
"Winter is coming," Quint said. "Would be nice to have a warm place."
Several of the others nodded hopefully.
"Squint, he always complains when the weather turns cold," Simon said. He waved his hand in the air as if he could dismiss the idea entirely with one gesture. A long silence followed while the Regal Rats continued to gaze at their leader. Simon clearly became uncomfortable. "We'd be too tired out to do another show so late," he protested. "That and the dark—I won't lead you boys into harm."
"Well," Frederick said, "if you're frightened…"
Finn poked at Simon with a look of challenge.
"Come on," Alex said. "Like Freddy says, we can do it."
Simon glared at Frederick, yet reluctantly agreed to do a street performance the evening of the following Saturday.
When the day came, the chill fall weather had left moisture on the paving stones. The air had become still. A haze of coal smoke hung over the Leicester Square area. As the audiences attending performances exited the theaters and music halls, the pall of smoke seemed to dampen their mood. The Regal Rats' antics in the road were largely ignored.
"Walk the wheel," Frederick said to Simon. "That always gets the crowd excited."
Simon frowned. The leader of the Regal Rats was the only one among the group who could balance on the moving wheel of a hansom cab. The feat required a carriage moving at just the right pace, and a confederate to draw the driver's attention to the right side of the vehicle, while Simon mounted the left wheel and took rapid steps on top of the turning rim. He dropped off the wheel onto the pavement as soon as the driver noticed him. Although the action didn't last long, those watching loved the feat, and it always increased their earnings.
Simon shook his head. "Too dangerous."
"Is that all you have for us tonight," Frederick asked, "cowardice?"
Several of the boys watched to see what Simon would do. Their leader looked up and down the lane. His eyes fixed on a hansom cab approaching from the south. "Squint," he said, "you catch the driver's eye."
Simon spit on the pavement at Frederick's feet, then scampered with Quint into the road to meet up with the cab. As the carriage came close, Finn and Alex did their best to draw the attention of the crowd moving along the footway to the action in the street. Frederick saw the head of the hansom driver turn toward the right. Simon made his move, grabbing spokes near the rim and allowing their movement to pull him up onto the wheel. In a fluid motion Frederick had never been able to get right, Simon found his feet on the wheel rim, facing the direction the carriage traveled, and began walking backwards in rapid, mincing steps. Gasps, oohs, and aahs from the crowd on the footway drew the driver's attention back to the left.
The man was quick. Seeing Simon, he struck him with his whip.
Frederick had seen Simon dodge whips many times, and didn't want to believe his eyes as he watched his friend stumble. Simon's face reflected confusion and frustration. His arms pinwheeled briefly as he fell in front of the wheel. The rim passed over Simon's neck, and the carriage kept going. Those watching on the footway flooded into the road, surrounding the broken boy, and obscuring Frederick's view. That was the last he saw of Simon.
Frederick experienced a pang of loss that reminded him so much of what he'd known when his mother died that he immediately pushed the feeling aside, and walked away.
In the days that followed, the Regal Rats looked at him with scorn. Even so, he tried to lead them. Their performances lacked a certain vitality. They had lost their spirit. None of them had the charisma to gather much of an audience. Frederick told himself that Simon's death wasn't his fault, but fearing that he deserved to be the next to fall maimed or dead, he quit the street company.
He returned to scavenging for a living. Trying to find a position in industry at age fifteen, he found that he'd become too large to perform most child labor, and wasn't considered mature and trustworthy enough for an adult job. He worked as a pure finder, selling dog shit to tanneries, and tried his hand as a tosher in the sewers beneath the city. Once he'd had enough of going hungry, he lied about his age and joined the Royal Navy.
The excerpt above is from a part of The Surgeon's Mate: A Dismemoir that takes place in the 1870s when childhood for the poor in London was certainly fraught with dangers, pains, and difficulties. By 1902, the likelihood of good in a pauper's childhood had not become better, and was probably most often much worse.
At the end of the chapter 23 in The People of the Abyss, Jack London reveals his bigotry when he writes:
In London the slaughter of the innocents goes on on a scale more stupendous than any before in the history of the world. And equally stupendous is the callousness of the people who believe in Christ, acknowledge God, and go to church regularly on Sunday. For the rest of the week they riot about on the rents and profits which come to them from the East End stained with the blood of the children. Also, at times, so peculiarly are they made, they will take half a million of these rents and profits and send it away to educate the black boys of the Soudan.
I'm not suggesting that he's not right to point out the odd priority of helping people on the other side of the world before helping those who suffered at home, but by pointing out that those of Soudan are black he leaves a clear impression that he believes they are less worthy. Other bigoted statements the author made in his writing during his lifetime make it clear that he indeed was a racist.

The Acquisition Of TestCafe Will Help NeoStencil To Enhance Performance Of Competitive Exam Participants.
Delhi-based edtech startup NeoStencil has acquired TestCafe, an analytics-based test practice portal. The acquisition will help the startup improve the testing capabilities and enhance the way in which competitive exams participants practice and check their preparedness.
NeoStencil was founded in December 2014 by Love Beejal and Kush Beejal. The startup provides access to material for UPSC test preparation. It provides live as well as recorded classes, test series and study material from civil services institutes and teachers, along with discussion forums.
The founders claim the edtech venture to be an asset-light and scalable model which leverages technology to solve a real problem for both students and teachers. On one hand, it enables teachers to extend their reach beyond physical boundaries thus creating a win-win situation for the stakeholders. On the other hand, it adds value to students who find difficulty in relocating to coaching capitals and who have no option but to join sub par, local teachers," he added.
With a team size of 30, the startup claims that it is profitable and not burning cash. The startup claims to have over 150K registered students. "In the recently announced UPSC 2016 exam results, more than 500 of the 1099 elected candidates, including 43 of the top 100, were trained by NeoStencil's partner institutes, and around 100 of them chose to prepare via online classes at NeoStencil," further claims the company.
As stated in an official statement by Kush, "NeoStencil aims to become a one-stop destination to connect top teacher's classroom programmes with students across India." NeoStencil currently has 30 top teachers onboard and plans to onboard another 50 teachers by the year-end. Recently, the company also raised $1 Mn in a round led by Brand Capital and California-based Paragon Trust, with the participation of 91springboard, M&S Partners founder Hirokazu Mashita, Jabong co-founder Praveen Sinha, Manu Midha, Unicommerce co-founder Ankit Pruthi and Matt Arpano.
TestCafe's platform tracks and analyses students' performance and generate actionable recommendations to enable students to rapidly improve performance. Post the acquisition, TestCafe's analytics engine will be utilised to handle students' testing needs for NeoStencil. TestCafe would further help students build accuracy, increase speed and enhance concentration.
Anish Passi, the founder of TestCafe, saw a natural fit in merging with NeoStencil. "The synergies and the potential offered make complete sense. The platform was built in a manner to work across exams. So, the vast potential offered by NeoStencil really excites me." With the acquisition, Passi also joins in as a Director at NeoStencil.
With this acquisition, NeoStencil is poised to become the ultimate podium to help students master test-taking skills, as claimed in an official statement. As per Inc42 Datalabs Report for H1 2017, edtech took the fourth spot with 23 deals in the sector. The edtech market is further pegged to have a potential to touch $1.96 Bn by 2021 from where it stands now i.e. $247 Mn. With the acquisition of TestCafe, NeoStencil now directly competes with startups such as Unacademy, Coursera, Udacity and more.

Digital morphology is the study of form using computer tools. We did a project last semester to explore the creation of new forms that might have architectural uses, with Autodesk's 3dsMax software as the basic tool.
My exploration started with the way sails move in a wind field as boats tack into the wind. The movement of the sails was the starting point, and then we looked at ways of perturbing the surface, based on the characteristics of parts of the surface. I think this is still an early exploration, but I learned enough that with a suitable project I think I could use these tools to create something interesting and relevant.

Q: Redis callback upon persistence on disk I am using Redis at work and I am wondering if there is a built-in way to incorporate a hook or callback upon Redis persisting an in memory key on disk? In the end it might be unnecessary but I'd like to update a key in Redis once a different key has been stored on disk? Is this possible?

A: No, it`s not possible. Yes, it's unnecessary to update key in Redis if in memory and disk data is different. Also, you can (but your realy do not want to this in production in most of cases) force saving data to disk with BGSAVE or SAVE.
Please read about redis persistence and persistence demystified to understand how redis save data on disk and what guarantees the relevance of the data you have.

It's happening! Our public sculpture piece for the KW's ION light rail project is coming together. Here's a shot of the maquette in situ. Fabrication and installation—hopefully scheduled for November!
Here's what Crystal wrote about my installation. Such a privilege to have Crystal's succinct words—two paragraphs that capture all of my intentions and hopes for the piece.
"Tara Cooper's installation takes its name from the first line of a poem by Sue Goyette. In this text, Goyette crafts a subtle, yet mysterious, personification of the Atlantic Ocean. Vast, but within reach, the ocean seems to want more from us than simple adoration; it wants to know that our infatuation is sincere and is curious to know how we imagine its existence.
Terry and I spent the month of March at McGill University's Redpath Museum researching the musuem's natural history collections and present-day fieldwork. It was the initial foray into a longer project tentatively titled The Canadian Explorer's Club. Thanks to everyone at the museum for making us feel so welcome and at home. We also loved staying at the Darling Foundry, which was within walking distance and provided a beautiful space for working, not to mention all of the artists we met. If you haven't visited the Redpath, it's a must see for Montreal—Canada's oldest natural history museum with many claims to fame (for example they have the world's largest collection of sea horses).
Thanks to the University of Waterloo's Harding/Claxton Humanities and Social Sciences award for their support.
Three cheers to the Ontario Arts Council for an exhibition assistance grant in support of this show.

A nice start to the new year and my sabbatical—not too shabby. The book is also in their bookstore.
The second iteration of God Love Brigus opened last week at Calgary's Alberta Printmakers. Terry and I had great time, especially getting to know Carrie Phillips Kieser the Executive Director of the printshop. This time I took a more bookish approach, incorporating swaths of book-cloth on a table jam-packed with objects, ceramics, drawings and text.
Tracy Wormsbecker also wrote a thoughtful essay that illuminates some of the narratives: http://media.wix.com/ugd/76a681_bb0c4629248e463bacffd42185472eab.pdf.

Abstract: Problem gambling and homelessness are recognized as important public health concerns that significantly impact individuals, their friends and families, communities and broader society. We aimed to explore the experiences with health and social services of men who had histories of problem gambling and housing instability in Toronto, Ontario.

Anna Marie Johanne Sophie (Sofie) Holten (født 12. august 1858 i Skuldelev, død 5. juni 1930 i Roskilde) var en dansk maler.

Baggrund og udvikling som maler
Hun var datter af kapellan, senere sognepræst Hans Nicolai Holten og Marenstine "Mine" født Smidt. Hun var elev af Christen Dalsgaard i Sorø og af Carl Thomsen i København og blev derigennem skolet i den sene guldalders akademisk orienterede maleteknik. Et markant skift meldte sig i hendes stil, da hun i 1879 besøgte Paris, hvor hun boede på pensionat med Elise Konstantin-Hansen og Suzette Skovgaard, som siden blev hendes svigerinde. Under dette opholdt blev hun også veninde med Lorenz Frølichs datter Edma (senere Stage). Holten blev elev hos to af tidens førende malere, Félix Barrias og Alfred Stevens, og derved gjorde hun tidens fremherskende naturalisme til sin egen.

Opholdet i Paris blev nogle år senere fulgt op af et besøg i Grèz 1886-87, hvor Sophie Holten atter boede sammen med Elise Konstantin-Hansen og nu også med forfatteren Marie David. Her mødte hun forfatteren August Strindberg og malede hans portræt. Hendes øvrige foretrukne genrer var interiørbilleder og genrescener. Andre rejser bragte Holten til Holland, Belgien, Dresden og Berlin i 1892 og til Italien i 1894. Hun modtog Kunstakademiets stipendium 1890-91 og 1893-94 og støtte fra Den Raben-Levetzauske Fond og fra Pro Pontifice Ecclesia i 1929.

Religiøs konversion og socialt arbejde
Som præstedatter var Holten ikke uventet optaget af religiøse spørgsmål, og efter en radikal periode i 1880'erne konverterede hun i 1890'erne til katolicismen og hengav sig herefter også til at male religiøse motiver. Holten markerede sig i samtiden gennem sin ret omfattende udstillingsvirksomhed, men fik dog aldrig et gennembrud i Danmark, og ved sit engagement i kvindesagen. I 1899 var Holten med til at oprette Kvindernes Køkken, hvor kvinder kunne spise for små penge.

Udstillinger

Holten udstillede på Charlottenborg Forårsudstilling uafbrudt fra 1883 til 1897 og atter i årene 1899, 1901 og 1904. Hendes værker blev også optaget på Salonen i Paris 1886, på den Nordiske Kunstudstilling i København 1888, på Internationale Kunstausstellung i Berlin 1891, Verdensudstillingen i Chicago 1893, Kvindernes Udstilling i København 1895, på udstillingen The Glasgow School Artists of Denmark i Chicago 1895, på Raadhusudstillingen i København 1901 og på Kvindelige Kunstneres retrospektive Udstilling i København 1920. Kunstforeningen i København arrangerede en separatudstilling med Holtens værker i 1887 (sammen med Marie Luplau). Efterfølgende har hendes værker været udstillet på De drogo till Paris, Liljevalchs i Stockholm 1988 og senest i 1991.

Holten døde ugift og er begravet i Roskilde.

Hun har malet en række portrætter af blandt andre L.A. Ring og et af August Strindberg.

More than a century after its creation, Joslin Diabetes Center continues its tradition of excellence as an internationally recognized diabetes treatment, research and education institution. Though our focus is on what we can do today and in the future to improve the lives of people with diabetes, we also honor our past achievements—on which those of today are built.
Our research model allows basic researchers and clinicians to forge a bond that fosters creative thinking and spurs discovery. Some of the most important discoveries and improvements in diabetes care were developed at Joslin. Click on RESEARCH for a timeline with some of the highlights of this important legacy.
Joslin's founder, Elliott P. Joslin, M.D., believed that the key to managing diabetes lay with patient involvement, education and empowerment. This is still the core of JoslinCare today. Click on CARE & EDUCATION for a timeline of innovation in patient care and education at Joslin.
To make an impact globally on the care of diabetes beyond our walls has taken an expansion of facilities and programs, as well as bonds forged with other institutions. Here is a CHRONOLOGY of how we grew from Elliott P. Joslin's private practice to be the global leader in diabetes research, care and education.

Ok, listed above are the two tables I am working with. We are required to make the query to list all bookid's, title's, and author names for all books that DO NOT include the author Sartre (3 total)
Here are two ways I attempted to do just that, both unsuccessfully: (note: query does not return all I listed above [i.e. title] because I need this part to work first)
select LITWORK.BOOKID, LITWORK_AUTHOR.AUNAME
from LITWORK, LITWORK_AUTHOR
where not exists (select BOOKID
from LITWORK_AUTHOR
where AUNAME = 'Sartre');

RESULT
SQL> start q13.sql
no rows selected
Not sure why this executed, but selected no rows confused on that:(.
Second attempt:
select LITWORK.BOOKID, LITWORK_AUTHOR.AUNAME
from LITWORK, LITWORK_AUTHOR
where LITWORK.BOOKID != (select BOOKID
from LITWORK_AUTHOR
where AUNAME = 'Sartre');

Result
SQL> start q13.sql
where LITWORK.BOOKID != (select BOOKID
                        *
ERROR at line 3:
ORA-01427: single-row subquery returns more than one row
So this time, I believe it populated a temp table with those Bookid's Sartre is part of, but returns more than one (since he authored three) and thus not working as I intend.....how to get sql to read and exclude those bookid's that Sartre is a part of one by one.....
how can I query / nested subquery properly to get the table to populate with all those bookids, titles, and author names for which the bookid does NOT include the author Sartre?
This is for a basic SQL class, I am trying to develop professionally, and feel silly getting stuck on this.
Up until now, we have learned SELECT, WHERE, NOT IN, IN, EXISTS, NOT EXISTS, JOIN, UNION, GROUP BY, ORDER BY....pretty much covers what we learned thus far....so the answer should not be outside of these things.

A: Here you go:
select a.BOOKID, a.TITLE, b.AUNAME
from LITWORK a
inner join LITWORK_AUTHOR b
   ON A.BOOKID = B.BOOKID
where a.BookID not In
(select c.BOOKID from LITWORK_AUTHOR c where c.AUNAME = 'Sartre')

A: The first query did not return values because of a misapplication of 'not exists'. The intent I'm inferring from the first query is to generate a list of books where the book's ID is not in the list of books authored by Satre:
select LITWORK.BOOKID, LITWORK_AUTHOR.AUNAME
from LITWORK, LITWORK_AUTHOR
where LITWORK.BOOKID in (select BOOKID
from LITWORK_AUTHOR
where AUNAME <> 'SARTRE');

The second approach returns the error indicated because your subquery is returning a list of bookid's, but the comparison can only occur against one record at a time - not a list. A single value in a single record can't be compared against a set of values. That's when you go back to the operation of the 'in' operator - asking the question 'Is value x in the following list?'
In reality, however, the better and likely intended approach is to use a join, one in which I would suggest the use of ANSI-standard join syntax rather than the comma-delimited syntax (and in adding the proper modifications to eliminate the issues pointed out by xQBert, this solution now probably does have too many joins, but after many knuckle-raps from DBA's over use of 'in' and 'not exists' (especially), I tend to try the join first, then see if I can improve from there :) :) ).
The illustration here is to create the list of books, joined to the author table, then outer joined to what we could term the "illegal book list" of those authored by Sartre - and also eliminating the issue of a null author value :
Select a.*
  from litwork a
  join litwork_author b
    on a.bookid=b.bookid
  left outer join (select bookid
                     from litwork_author
                    where auname='SARTRE') c
    on a.bookid=c.bookid
  where c.bookid is null

A: Although the often used NOT IN syntax does work, dependent on the data and the RDBMS, it can be exceedingly expensive and slow.  (Especially if the list inside the NOT IN ever becomes large.)
As such you may wish to consider alternatives that have different performance characteristics (often better, but not always, and all vary dependent on the data in your tables)...
SELECT
    *
FROM
    litwork
INNER JOIN
    litwork_author
        ON  litwork_author.BookID = litwork.BookID
INNER JOIN
(
    SELECT
        BookID
    FROM
        litwork_author
    GROUP BY
        BookID
    HAVING
        SUM(CASE WHEN AuName = 'Sartre' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) = 0  -- Return 1 row per book, where the total number of authors called 'Sartre' is 0
)
    validLitWork
        ON  validLitWork.BookID = litwork.BookID

What would likely perform well in a situation where the number books involving 'Sartre' is relatively high.
In the converse, where the number of books involving 'Sartre' is relatively low, I'd be inclined to go the opposite way...
SELECT
    *
FROM
    litwork
INNER JOIN
    litwork_author
        ON  litwork_author.BookID   = litwork.BookID
LEFT JOIN
    litwork_author   excluded_litwork
        ON  excluded_litwork.BookID = litwork.BookID
        AND excluded_litwork.AuName = 'Sartre'
WHERE
    excluded_litwork.AuName IS NULL

A: I'm not a fan of , joins in the from.  That's the old ansi 87 standard... yes 1987.  We're what now 30 years later?  yes in IT years , froms should be dead now; but sadly they still exist.
Really all you're missing is the correlation between the exists and your from clause.
SELECT LW.BOOKID, LWA.AUNAME
FROM LITWORK LW
INNER JOIN LITWORK_AUTHOR LWA
 on LW.BookID = LWA.BookID
WHERE not exists (SELECT *
                  FROM  LITWORK_AUTHOR LWA2
                  WHERE AUNAME = 'Sartre'
                    and LWA.BookID = LWA2.BookID);  <-- Your query is just missing this line

or change it to a not In instead of an exists.
select LITWORK.BOOKID, LITWORK_AUTHOR.AUNAME
from LITWORK, LITWORK_AUTHOR
where LitWork.BookID not In (select BOOKID          <--or change this to a not in instead of exists and add bookID.
                             from LITWORK_AUTHOR
                             where AUNAME = 'Sartre');

I generally try to use not exists over not in as not in's handling of nulls can cause issues; and generally speaking I've seen not exists perform faster (though this is NOT always the case)
My general rule of thumb on tables is only join tables if you need values from them in your select.  If you don't, they should be in the where clause as limits on the data you desire.
and while I don't recommend it as the overhead of the derived table and additional join can get expensive vs the not exists, not in.
SELECT LITWORK.BOOKID, LITWORK_AUTHOR.AUNAME
FROM LITWORK LW
INNER JOIN LITWORK_AUTHOR LWA
 on LW.BookID = LWA.BookID
LEFT JOIN (select BookID from LITWORK_AUTHOR LWA2 where AUNAME = 'Sartre') BooksToExclude
 on booksToExclude.BookID = LWA.BookID
WHERE BooksToExclude.BookID is null

This last one says join the books and authors.  Then Include all results and only those results from BoooksToExclude having Satre as an author.
Then the outer where clause says if Satre existed as an author in the BooksToExclude derived table then exclude those books.
The reason your second query didn't work is because your where clause is comparing a scalar result to a non scalar result which simply doesn't work..
1 value can't be compared to many values using the = or != operands.
where LITWORK.BOOKID != (select BOOKID
from LITWORK_AUTHOR
where AUNAME = 'Sartre');

!= compares 1 value to 1 value much the same as =.  if you need to compare 1 value to many values you need to use {Not} IN.
The reason your first query didn't work is simply because they are not correlated and you have a cross join.  , means all records from LitWORK tied to all records of LitWork_Author.  but you need the two to be tied on Book_ID.  This is one reason why JOIN syntax is used as it avoids accidental cross joins when where clauses are omitted.
But if you must keep with the ANSI 87 standard...
select LITWORK.BOOKID, LITWORK_AUTHOR.AUNAME
from LITWORK, LITWORK_AUTHOR
where not exists (select A.BOOKID
from LITWORK_AUTHOR A
where A.AUNAME = 'Sartre'
  and A.BookID = LitWork_Author.Book_ID)
 and LitWork.BookID = LitWork_Author.BookID

A: The first thing is to think about how the result should look like. A book has one title and possibly multiple authors. You could now either repeat the same book again and again with one author in each row or show one line for each book with the list of authors as a comma-separated string.
The latter method is an aggregation; you aggregate your data such as to get one book per result row. "per" translates to GROUP BY in SQL. Use HAVING to check whether a book meets your conditions.
select
  bookid,
  l.title,
  listagg(la.auname, ', ') within group (order by la.auname) as authors
from litwork l
join litwork_author la using (bookid)
group by bookid
having count(case when la.auname = 'Sartre' then 1 end) = 0
order by l.title;

A: Use an OUTER JOIN so that you get books that have no authors and you can use GROUP BY and HAVING to restrict it to books that do not have any of the authors you do not want.

Puppies and Liars Charm The House of Blues
Sick Puppies are a three-piece band from Australia who have been steadily climbing the charts since their major label debut, Dressed Up As Life in 2007. On the strength of newest release Connect, the band rolled into Dallas on Tuesday night to rock the House of Blues with special guests Redlight King and Charming Liars. I only got to see two of the bands, (sorry, Redlight King!) so here goes:
First up was Charming Liars. A young five-piece from London, England, this band has it all: looks, stage presence, and most important of all...SONGS!! Hook-laden, kick-ass rock and roll is what these guys specialize in, and they had everyone at HOB eating out of their collective hands, none more so than singer Charlie Cosser, who knows how to work a room and get a crowd into it. I predict big things for these guys, who could not have been any nicer at the merch table, talking with everyone and signing CDs, posters, the works. Look for my interview with the band in the coming weeks.
After some running around frantically trying to feed the meters, we got back in for Sick Puppies. Opening with "Die to Save You" from Connect, singer/guitarist Shim Moore, bassist Emma Anzai, and drummer Mark Goodwin were on and popping right from the start. "Survive" and "Cancer" kept the foot on the gas, and ramped up the energy in the room. Emma seems to be everywhere at once, stopping only to sing her parts at the mic. The rest of the time she's head-banging, pounding her bass, and just a whirlwind of energy.
New song "There's No Going Back" slowed things down just for a moment before the band launched into crowd favorite (mine, too) "Odd One" from 2009's Tri-Polar. Emma took a moment to introduce the song and send a message that it's ok to be different, and just to be yourself in this world. In this day and age, kids need to hear that now more than ever, quite frankly. It's simply a beautiful song, and live it was very moving. "Riptide" and "Maybe" from the same album also got some of the loudest cheers of the evening, due to the way Shim delivers his lines. He sincerely thanked those in attendance several times, and really got us all revved up all night long.
The acoustic guitar-fueled title track "Connect" was for sure another highlight for me, as it's not only my favorite on the record, it just calls to mind driving in the summertime with the top down. Looking around, I saw a LOT of people singing every word to it. Sick Puppies have some serious fans, that's for sure. "War" turned up the jets again before the socio-political satire of "Gunfight" used tongue-in-cheek humor to call some famous/infamous people out on the carpet. This one's another gem, no question.
The band reached way back to 2001 for "Nothing Really Matters", another fast rocker to close out their main set, which was a pleasant surprise. For the encores, Shim started out on the slower side again for "All the Same" before kicking into high gear for "Walking Away", and finally "You're Going Down". This was the perfect one-two punch to end the evening, and I left the House of Blues sufficiently rocked, and ready for the next time they come back to town. I advise all of you to catch them if you can, you won't be disappointed.

Some Facts About Randy Johnson
From the Arizona Diamondbacks' 2001 media guide, here's a long list of highlights and facts about the first two decades of Randy Johnson's professional career, spanning from 1986 through 2000. We begin with his Career Highlights:
Johnson has kept lefthanded hitters to a .189 overall average in his career (173-for-913), and while allowing 222 regular season home runs during his career, only 10 have been hit by lefties (Von Hayes and Jim Eisenreich-1989; Wally Joyner and Mike Greenwell-1991; Mo Vaughn-1992; Darren Bragg-1996; Darin Erstad, Mo Vaughn & Jim Edmonds (2)-1997) [Johnson wound up his career having allowed 25 homers by lefties].. .he had a personal 16-game winning streak that ran from August, 1995 through May 2,1997, falling a win shy of the American League record for consecutive games won in a career.
Randy led the majors in strikeouts for the third consecutive season with 347, while topping the National League in winning percentage (.731) and tying for the top spot in complete games (8), shutouts (3) and starts (35)…he went from "Sayonara to Cy Young," returning home from an 8-game tour of Japan with the MLB All-Star team and 2 days later learned he won his second consecutive, third career Cy Young Award.. .he became the third N.L. pitcher to win the honor consecutively, and first lefthander to do so since Sandy Koufax in 1965-66… R.J. appeared headed for his second straight ERA title but his hopes were derailed on final day of the season allowing 8 earned runs in just 3.1 innings against the division champion Giants, raising his season mark from 2.38 to 2.64, finishing second to Kevin Brown.
…he became the 12th pitcher in major league history to reach the 3,000 career strikeout mark when he fanned Florida's Mike Lowell in the fourth inning on September 10 in Pro Player Stadium.. .Johnson struck out Luis Castillo in the first inning for his 300th of the year joining Nolan Ryan as the only 2 pitchers in history to fan 300 batters in 3 consecutive seasons…R.J. and Ryan are also the only 2 hurlers to achieve at least 1,000 K's in a 3-year stretch, with Johnson fanning 1,038 in his last 3 seasons (Ryan fanned 1,079 from 1972-74)…
Johnson started the season by winning co-N.L. Player-of-the-Week honors (with Montreal's Vladimir Guerrero) allowing 2 earned runs in first 17.2 innings… he followed with a 1-0 win over the Pirates, the first of 2 shutouts in April.. .all told, he went 6-0 in April with a 0.91 ERA, allowing just 5 earned runs in 49.1 innings while recording 64 K's, earning N.L. Pitcher-of-the-Month honors for the month after becoming just the third pitcher in history to win 6 games before May 1, joining Vida Blue (1971) and Dave Stewart (1988)…he struck out 36 batters without issuing a walk over 102 at bats over his first 4 starts…his impressive start carried into May, matching Brian Andersen's team mark by winning his seventh consecutive start on May 5.. .
he moved into 12th on the all-time career strikeout list when he passed Jim Bunning with strikeout No. 2,856 vs. Colorado on June 25.. . he had an 11-1 record and 1.40 ERA through first 14 starts and was 15-2 with a 2.01 mark at the All-Star break, earning the starting nod for the N.L., his seventh Midsummer Classic selection, third start… amazingly, he struck out 13 in a 7-inning stint at Oakland just 2 days before the All-Star Game, posting a 4-2 win over the A's…
R.J. tied his and Ryan's major league record for double-digit strikeout games with 23, the second consecutive year for Johnson.. .included was a season-high 14 K's in the milestone game on September 10 in Florida.. .he finished year with 148 career games with 10 or more K's, second to Ryan's 215.. .
offensively, he set a club record for pitchers with 8 RBI, breaking the mark he set the previous season (7)…had a 5-game hitting streak from April 14-May 5, going 6-for-17 (.353) with a double and 4 RBI.
Randy's first year as a Diamondback translated into his second career Cy Young Award, joining Gaylord Perry and Pedro Martinez as the only pitchers in history to win the coveted honor in each league… the top strikeout performer in the majors during the decade of the 90's, R.J. added to those numbers with a career-high 364, the fourth best single-season total in major league history, just 3 shy of Nolan Ryan's 1974 mark for third highest…Randy also set personal bests in complete games (12) and innings pitched (271.2), leading the majors in each category…
he won the division clincher in San Francisco on Sept. 24, allowing 3 unearned runs in the first inning, then limiting the Giants to just 2 hits the rest of the way in an 11-3 win…fanned 15 on April 10 in a win at Atlanta, the first of 23 double-digit strikeout games, tying Nolan Ryan's major league record for most in a season, 2 more than the previous N.L. mark set in 1965 by Sandy Koufax…
the Big Unit also set a big league record by achieving the 300-strikeout mark faster than any hurler in history, fanning the Martins' Kevin Millar for the mile-stone 'K' on August 26 in his 29th start, 2 starts quicker than any other pitcher.. .he earned N.L. Player-of- the-Week honors after posting consecutive wins on May 25 & 30 at home over San Diego and in New York, respectively, allowing 1 run over 17.0 innings.. . the Unit returned to Seattle on July 20 tossing an 8-hitter to record the first-ever blanking in Safeco Field, a 6-0 victory… entering play that night, Arizona was 2 1/2 games behind in the West, but his win ignited a 10-1 run that reversed the standings to a 2 1/2-game lead, and a season-ending stretch in which the club finished 51-17…
Randy's pair of shutouts weren't the only blankings involving him that made news in '99, as one of the more publicized losing streaks occurred at mid-season as he tied an improbable major league record by coming up on the short end of 4 consecutive shutouts from June 25-July 10…the oddity of the streak was that the D'Backs were no-hit by the Cards' Jose Jimenez in the first loss, then followed by a 1-hitter, 2-hitter and 3-hitter in succession… it marked the 10th time in major league history that a starter was blanked in 4 consecutive games, joining Willie Hemandez (1980 Cubs), Jim McAndrew (1968 Mets), Ray Sadecki (1968 Giants), Chuck Estrada (1962 Orioles), George O'Donnell (1954 Pirates), Paul Derringer (1933 Reds), Hub Pruett (1932 Boston Braves), Jesse Petty (1927 Brooklyn Dodgers) and Irv Young (1907 Boston Braves)…
