Rick Remender on his break from Marvel, creator-owned comics, and his latest, Tokyo Ghost

Tag: Deadly Class
Rick Remender is one of the few comic-book writers whose work I will pull regardless of the description. With Fear Agent, Black Science, Uncanny X-Force and my latest favorite, Deadly Class, under his belt, Remender has risen to hero status in the comic-book world and continues to release issues at a rate that is to be admired. He's the writer I recommend to friends looking for adrenaline-filled comic that doesn't let off the gas and just goes.
So when news of his break from Marvel to focus on creator-owned comics was announced, the news felt a little bittersweet. I was first introduced to Remender through Marvel's Uncanny X-Force, which is still one of my favorite Marvel stories of all time, but quickly fell into a much deeper love with his creator-owned series, especially Black Science and Deadly Class.
His latest, Tokyo Ghost, takes place in the technology-ridden isles of Los Angeles (the city has turned into a host of islands after the water levels have risen) as mayhem rules the streets and people are only concerned with entertainment and drugs, in the form of Nanotech that gets injected in their blood, changing their emotions. His artist and collaborator, Sean Murphy (The Wake, The Fade Out), crafts a bleak world that screams in its intensity as the protagonists, a couple of constables bound by love as well as co-dependency, try to contain a madman named Davey, who lost touch with reality through his videogame obsession.
I spoke with Remender about his break from Marvel and decision to focus on creator-owned comics and his latest, Tokyo Ghost, which comes out today.
Let's talk about the Marvel announcement you made; that you'll be taking a break from working at Marvel focus on creator-owned comics.
I've walked away from full-time jobs in animation, videogames, Warner Bros, Fox, Electronic Arts, as well as teaching and a number of careers that started out as promising, but ultimately, they're not creating my own comic books, and that's what I really love to do. Going back to 1997, when I first started doing self-published indie books with my friends, I caught a terrible disease, which is I want to tell the kind of stories I want to tell, and I want to do it exactly how I want to do it. It's satisfying on a level that nothing else is. To work with an artist, to pitch them ideas, to cook something up, to put together a story, to create the characters, to infuse them with aspects of you and people you know and philosophical bits, to build in something personal, to leave behind a representation of who you are and what you think, that's the kind of book that I want to make. So, while it's definitely been a lot of fun to work on the Marvel properties, I needed to focus on the more personal projects again. For as far as employers go, they were very nice, and they offered me their biggest books, and at one point in the last year, I was going to do one or the other, but I realized I'm just not in a place where what I'd do would be my best work. I'm dealing with health issues in my family and find life more manageable doing creator-owned comic books.
Is the process of working on characters on Marvel properties different than working on your own characters? Do you find yourself automatically liking your characters more, or do you have an affinity for licensed characters you grew up with?
For me, at a certain point you say to yourself, how many Wolverine stories do I have left in me? You do it the one or the two times and it scratches that itch. Wolverine is not mine and so, by definition, not a character I could invest myself in as deeply as I character I create whole cloth. I work hard on any job I am ever given and do my very best to infuse that character with as much passion and pathos as I can, but Heath Huston, Grant McKay or Saya, the characters that I create, are obviously going to be 100 percent me and the artist and what we wanted to do. No one will take them next and do something with them that I don't like. I will never have anyone tell me how the story has to be, or what character I can use. It's liberating to do our own sh-t exactly the way we want to do it. For me, right now, that is needed. Marvel supported me, helped train me and helped me provide for my family, and I had a good time doing that work. It's just not where my heart is right now.
There was once a letter written to you in an issue of Black Science about how you construct your comics. You said the best thing to do when creating any story is to start with the characters and write about them, who they are, who they love and hate, where they came from and anything you can think about from them. Write pages and pages' worth. Get to know them and the story will just sort itself out. Can you do that the same with licensed characters, or does that only work on creator-owned characters?
No, you can't. Let's go back to Wolverine. Wolverine has been in a million comic books. Now, I'm a purist. I'm a Chris Claremont, Frank Miller kind of Wolverine fan, with a little Larry Hama in there. But, to me, that's the era that the character really clicks, maybe because it's when I was a kid. Once you've got bone claws and his origin has changed, then he's stopped being the same character for me, relative to when I read the character. For other people, that could be completely different. But you have all of this history that other people have written, and if you tried to make perfectly logical sense of all of it, any character is a jumbled mess. Chronologically, he's been a thousand things. So, what you have to do in those situations is, you really have to take the things you like best, and for me it was Claremont, Miller and Grant Morrison. You try to acknowledge everything else if you can, but to acknowledge all of that continuity and history leaves you shackled, and in many ways with little else to be discovered about that character. There's no way to go back and read the million comics with Wolverine and make sure that you've fallen in line with every single version that's ever been written of the character. It's insane to think every line written ever is a part of the character. So inevitably you're going to have somebody who's a fan of Scott Lobdel's story angry with you because on a comic 23 years ago Wolverine said he doesn't eat steak and beans on Tuesdays, he eats eggs, and that pedantic joylessness makes the job less fun. Whereas in creating my own character, I'm filling in those gaps. I'm creating the character's backstory, taking them to the next step in their lives. What I want to say is pure in its intention.
Do you spend all that time writing the backstory on all your characters, or just the main ones?
Any character that is going to have any role in your story should have an established desire, traits and a backstory. And you might not ever tell those backstories. You might not have time to divulge any of these histories you've cooked up, but it will come across in their character in little bits where they will feel living and breathing and real. They will want something and have a reason for existing in your story, or you cut them. And ultimately, for me, when a character hasn't had that kind of work done, I can tell reading it as well as writing it. I'm guilty of it at times. There was a couple characters where I say, "Ahhh, I'll figure them out later," and then you get six or seven issues in and you realize they end up becoming voiceless because you don't know them. Whereas characters you do know are making decisions based on their history, preferences and desires, which leads to a richer experience. And as you're writing the story, the characters you haven't done the background work will fall to the wayside or they will be there to facilitate a plot role, which is pretty unsatisfying as well.
Do the characters then map out their own destiny, or do you have a destiny in place for them? Or do you just start out and interact with them, and they craft their own story?
A little of both. The great thing about creating these books whole cloth is, I work really hard to make sure there's an outline, trajectory, character reveals and a plan in place. And I'll work for weeks and weeks and weeks just on outline. So, for most of these stories, I'll have an outline far beyond where we're at with the current issues. The beauty is, as I'm writing, the characters will make different decisions as I'm scripting, sometimes. I'll have it plotted that this person will pull the trigger on that person or that these people are going to break up and their love is going to disappear, but when I get to those moments, I'll realize that these characters, as the narrative has flowed to this point, won't feel right doing these things that I have plotted out. So, when you immerse yourself more and more in the story so your narrative can change, you still want to try to stick to most of your narrative points, and with most of my outlines, like Fear Agent, I'll go back and see that I stuck to a good portion of the outline. Heath himself develops in a few distinctive ways, and there's a couple of zigs and zags that went in there, but ultimately it has the same basic structure. I always try to make sure that there's a tight outline with tracks to follow but also allow myself to have the characters make different decisions that will alter those a little bit and keep me excited as well.
Let's look at your latest comic, Tokyo Ghost. This is a world that has a lot of skin, violence and mayhem, especially in the first issue. What made you want to explore that environment?
Any time you're envisioning one of these futures, it's always kind of fun to look at current trends and problems we're facing. One of the current trends and problems is the world is crumbling around us and we're obsessed with the shoes Beyonce is wearing, or arguing with each other on the Internet over pedantic details that have very little to do with the actual realities of life. It's insipid, and I think it's a problem that's just going to get worse. I think we're going to see people with a sense of entitlement because they're used to clicking and getting things immediately. There's going to be people that won't be able to immerse themselves in a novel anymore because their attention spans are shot. And that's me too. I wake up in the morning and check Twitter. Why am I doing this? Because it's an endorphin hit that's the same as pulling an arm on a slot machine ... because it's an addiction. My brain is now used to having so much information dumped into it every day that if I reduce that information I feel itchy and twitchy. Tokyo Ghost starts out in a world that has decayed around us. The oceans have risen and the isles of Los Angeles are a putrid squalor, but nobody gives a sh-t 'cause everybody is watching 25 shows and they have Nanotech in their blood releasing drugs to keep them emotionally stable. So there's no reason to really pay attention to what is around you. And I think that's a natural exploration of a problem that I am seeing around us in current society.
There's also a separate world from the Los Angeles that's depicted in the world. Can you talk about that?
Well, I don't want to give that much away, but we wanted to show that there's a counterweight to the ugliness of the isles of Los Angeles in the story, and that's the tech free nation of Tokyo. It's a love story, so we get into how the characters met and who they are.
Can you talk about the villain in the first issue, Davey, and his role in the Los Angeles you described?
Well, Davey is the millennial nostalgiast who sees reality as a videogame. Only this is a character in a world in 60 years from now, so for him, the millennial attitude and culture is pure nostalgia, like rockabilly dudes who are immersed in the 1950s today. It's one of those kind of things. Davey sees no distinction between the Internet and the real world. To him, if he was playing Grand Theft Auto and mowing people down as a game or doing it in real life, there's no difference. His mind has become so immersed in the Internet and in fabricated reality that everything's a videogame to him. The isles of Los Angeles is just a game level that he's trying to beat, and he wants to get to take out the big boss, who just happens to be Mr. Flack, the man who runs the entertainment conglomerate that runs the city. Flack sends out his constables, Len and Debbie, to stop Davey. So it's taking things that we see that are problematic and just magnifying them to the nth degree to have some fun with. The commentary is there, but at the same time, you're having a lot of fun watching this insane Inspector Gadget/Joker-like character that views the Internet and reality as the same thing.
In many of your comics, drugs have a major role in the plot and development of the characters. Can you talk about how drugs impact the characters in Tokyo Ghost?
Well, in Tokyo Ghost, the drug is the iPhone or Internet, and it has been magnified to a point where that is projected constantly in front of you. Also, your blood is full of Nanotech, which, if you read on futurism sites, they say we're not far off from being able to inject nanos into your blood that will release chemicals to change your mood. I think it's another step towards our desire to remove all bad feeling or things that are uncomfortable from life. It's an examination in terms of how far we will take that. And so the drug in Tokyo Ghost is really technology, and I also like examining the idea of the co-dependent who is stuck with someone who is addicted to technology the same way that most alcoholics or drug addicts are being propped up by a co-dependent in their relationship, someone who is enabling them to continue their destructive behavior by paying their bills or raising their kids. I wanted to examine that with Len and Debbie, where you have Debbie, who's a straight edge that doesn't have any tech, propping up Len, who has completely fallen into the Internet, and he's no longer there. And she recognizes that if she quits propping him up he'd die, so that's an interesting dynamic to examine.
How did you meet Sean and decide to do this project with him, and what style were you aiming at in the creation?
I've been trying to work with Sean, and we finally got to hang out at some conventions in 2012 with a mutual friend of ours and really hit it off. We're very like-minded people. We start talking about work, and the next thing you know, we've been on the phone for two hours just talking. So Sean is someone that I not only respect but like a lot as a human being, and that leads to multiple long conversations about the story. So we spend hours on the phone every week, digging and examining about what gets us excited about drawing, and ultimately this story was born out of a year of these conversations. And I think that there's a richness to it because of the wealth of ideas that we had. There's a dichotomy between Tokyo and the isles of Los Angeles, and I think it works nicely in how you have one that's putrid and decrepit and one that's a beatific, utopian society that you get to bounce off of each other. Also you get to play with aesthetics from Judge Dredd and the old Lobo comics, RoboCop and samurai movies. It becomes a very strange soup that hopeful people thinks taste good, because Sean and I think it tastes great, and we're having an incredible amount of fun making it. And that's always the biggest test for me, because if I'm excited to write it and to see what's Sean's doing in creating this world, usually it'll find its audience.
Other than Judge Dredd and the comics you described for the look of Los Angeles, did you have any novels that inspired you in making Tokyo Ghost?
I was reading a sh-tload of James Ellroy at the time, The Cold Six Thousand and White Jazz, especially. So there's a good bit of the ol' complex character trapped between the various forces around them. White Jazz was the one I was reading when I was initially cooking this up with Sean, so there's a good bit of '50s crime noir thrown in there for sure. And then there's some Philip K. Dick, where there's a dystopic ugly future and a Huxley-style Brave New World, but inverted a bit.
There have been a lot of comics being made as television shows. I was wondering if you have anything in development?

We have a few fires in the oven. The only thing announced is Night Mary, currently in development by NBC/Universal, and it turns out it's a lot of fun. Comics are going to help make a lot of unique television, and it will only help comics if more and more of these things get made. It ultimately makes for a more vibrant and diverse entertainment options when television comes for some unique book like The Wicked + The Divine or Southern Bastards. Fingers crossed that all these things get made.

Q: Why is there just 1 job id in dataproc when there are multiple actions in the pyspark script? The definition of spark job is:

Job- A parallel computation consisting of multiple tasks that gets spawned in response to a Spark action (e.g. save, collect); you'll see this term used in the driver's logs.

So, why is it that each spark-submit creates just one job id in dataproc console that I can see?
Example: The following application should have 2 spark jobs
sc.parallelize(range(1000),10).collect()
sc.parallelize(range(1000),10).collect()

A: There is a difference between Dataproc job and Spark job. When you submit the script through Dataproc API/CLI, it creates a Dataproc job, which in turn calls spark-submit to submit the script to Spark. But inside Spark, the code above does create 2 Spark jobs. You can see it in the Spark UI:

Disgruntled employee attacks two people, tries to drive truck into Indian Rocks Beach City Hall
A disgruntled employee is accused of attacking two fellow employees and trying to drive a city-owned truck into four other people Wednesday morning.
By: WFTS Digital Staff
PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. -- A disgruntled employee is accused of attacking two fellow employees and trying to drive a city-owned truck into four other people Wednesday morning.
According to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, 52-year-old Errol Gray was fired from his job with the Public Service Department for the City of Indian Rocks earlier Wednesday morning. Witnesses told deputies Gray became angry and attacked the supervisor who fired him and then attacked a 50-year-old woman who saw it all happen.
Gray then got into a truck owned by the City of Indian Rocks and then drove toward four people standing in front of the city hall on Bay Palm Boulevard. The four people ran from the truck and ran back into the city hall.
Deputies said Gray admitted to all of this and said he tried to drive the truck into the city hall and the city manager's office.
Gray is charged with four counts of aggravated assault with a motor vehicle, one count of aggravated battery, one count of battery and one count of resisting officer without violence.

Thanks, Cheese, the frontline story is dead on.
We really don't want to see education WalMart-ized. It's mind-boggling, really, but makes perfect sense that the 800 pound gorilla of corporations would invest in a system that charges exorbitant prices for non-accredited degrees, relying all the while on the largess of Pell grants and federally-financed student loans. This is a form of corporate welfare for a corporation with greater annual profits than than the GNP of (easily) 100 countries! Plus, students with less-than-marketable skills and non-transferable credits are left holding the note!

The objectives are relatively close: less walking.
UPSMON scripted enemy: more intelligence.
* This is not a classic Bardosy-style campaign! There are no huge battles with many friendly units and support. It's only a handful freedomfighter (squad) against a lot of Russians.
* It could be very hard for single player, but much fun for 4-5 player in coop.
* I tested it in single, so not possible, but hard.
* Oh, and this is not complete. The last mission is not finished yet.
I created this campaign for my clan (this is why few, unimportant text still in my native language, but the important ones are translated). I planned to create a full English version on two mode: a single campaign and a multi coop missions set (like this one, what I post now). But it's need more work and I want to save this time to create more missions, if I can save it.
So every feedback are very welcome! Because if it's not reach the standard what you expect, then I focus on new project.
My problem is this: most player don't like my missions, but there is a dozen guys, who like ArmA as me (in oldskool OFP-style). But these missions are not in my standards. So probably the most players will like it. But if they don't neighter, I don't waste my time for this project.

outside of us with regard to the Sun, we never see him less than half illumined, but we do see him with a disk that lacks of being round,—about what the Moon shows us when two days off from full. It is when he is in quadrature—that is, a quarter way round the celestial circle from the Sun—that he shows thus, and we see him then with the telescope at closer range than we ever see the Moon without it. So observed we notice at once that his terminator, or inner edge, presents a very different appearance from the lunar one. Instead of looking like a saw, it looks comparatively smooth, like a knife. From this we know that, relatively to his size, he has no elevations or depressions upon his surface comparable to the lunar peaks and craters.
His terminator, however, is not absolutely perfect. Irregularities are to be detected in it, although much less pronounced than those of the Moon. His irregularities are of two kinds. The first, and by all odds the commonest phenomenon, consists in showing himself on occasions surprisingly flat; not in this case an inferable flatness, but a perfectly apparent one. In other words, his terminator does not show as a semi-ellipse, but as an irregular polygon. It looks as if in places the rind had been pared off. The peel thus taken from him, so to speak, is from twenty to forty degrees wide, according to the particular part of his surface that shows upon the terminator at the time.

More than 160 Clint ISD students, eight staff members possibly exposed to tuberculosis
Aaron Martinez
ElPaso
Document ›› Letter to parents regarding active case of TB (English)
Document ›› Letter to parents regarding active case of TB (Spanish)
About 160 students and eight employees in the Clint Independent School District might have been exposed to tuberculosis, city officials announced Wednesday.
El Paso Department of Public Health officials, who began investigating the possible exposure June 15, said 163 students and employees at Frank Macias Elementary School could have been exposed to tuberculosis. The school is located in Horizon City.
Bruce Parsons, interim health director of the El Paso Department of Public Health, could not say whether it was a student or an employee who was diagnosed with the disease.
No further information could be released because of privacy laws.
"After learning about the active TB case, we immediately initiated a full-scale investigation. So when we initiated that investigation, we worked with the school and determined that there was eight staff members who may have been exposed and up to 163 students," Parsons said.
Parents were notified earlier this week by letter that their children might have had contact with someone who was diagnosed with tuberculosis, officials said. Officials will call parents who have not taken their children for testing.
"We continue to work closely with officials from the Clint Independent School District as well as the Department of State Health Services to determine which children are considered as having been possibly exposed," Parsons said. "We ask that parents who receive the letter participate in the screening so that we can determine whether or not their child was exposed and follow up with appropriate treatment."
Officials are urging parents who received the letter to get their children tested immediately and not wait for symptoms to develop.
"Parents need to know that they shouldn't be looking for symptoms in their children as a way to determine if they should participate in these sessions," said Armando Saldivar, a spokesman for the El Paso Department of Public Health. "If they received a letter and even if they think their kids look fine or hasn't had a problem, it doesn't matter, they still need to come."
The department will host an educational session Thursday to help parents learn more about tuberculosis and answer any questions parents might have, Parsons said. After the session, staff from the health department will be available to draw blood from students to test for tuberculosis.
The session will begin at 9 a.m. and testing will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Frank Macias Elementary School, Parsons said.
The session and testing are only for those who received the letter, officials said.
"Parents who did not receive a letter should not worry, but if they insist on receiving a test, they should contact their private health care provider or call our immunization line (at) 212-6555 to get a skin test for $9," Saldivar said.
The department also will be at the school to test students Monday and Tuesday. The testing Monday will be from 9 a.m. to noon, while Tuesday's testing will be from 2 to 6 p.m., Parsons said.
The blood samples will be analyzed at the department's labs with the results of the test expected to be ready within a week, Parsons said.
Clint Independent School District officials said in a statement that they are working with the public health department in its investigation of the possible exposure.
"The District has been fully cooperating with the health department following their guidelines and protocols," the statement said. "The District will continue to provide the health department with any necessary information to ensure the well being of our students and staff."
According to district officials, in the past school year, which ended June 9, there were about 1,100 students enrolled and about 100 employees at the elementary school.
Tuberculosis is a bacterial illness that may be transmitted through breathing infected droplets from the cough or sneeze of a person who has the infection, officials said.
"Tuberculosis is a bacterial illness that has been around for a long time, thousands of years," Parsons said. "Most folks think TB is a yesterday's disease and no longer an issue, but for us along the border it is still an issue and could be a major issue depending on the nature of the exposure."
Officials said that tuberculosis is not easily transmitted and that the "likelihood of transmission increases with length of exposure to the cough or sneezes of someone with active TB."
Parsons added that tuberculosis "often manifests in the lungs and affects lung function and can be very debilitating."
Symptoms of active tuberculosis include rapid weight loss, fatigue, fever and coughing, he said.
Parsons said that tuberculosis is a treatable infection, although treatment can last for months.
"Fortunately, we have very effective drug therapies for tuberculosis," Parsons said. "They (patients) are put on a cocktail of drugs. One of the issues associated with it is the length of time. You can't just put them on the drugs like a standard treatment regimen like you would for another bacteria illness where you might be on the drugs for a week or two."
This is the second time in recent years that the department has responded to possible exposure to tuberculosis.
In 2013 and 2014, department officials investigated a possible exposure at Providence Memorial Hospital. About 859 babies who were being treated at Providence were identified as possibly being exposed to tuberculosis.
After a seven-month investigation, officials said they found that no babies at the hospital developed an active case of the disease. However, 11 babies tested positive for tuberculosis.
Officials believe that seven of those cases were false positives because the infants were vaccinated with Bacillus Calmette-Guerin. The vaccine can produce false positive results, officials said.
The four remaining babies tested positive but did not have active tuberculosis.
For more information, parents can call the health department at 212-6609 or visit EPHealth.com.

SAN MATEO, Calif., March 19, 2019 — Rockset, the serverless search and analytics company, today announced general availability of the industry's first cloud service that allows developers and data scientists to put complex data sets to use in minutes instead of weeks.
Current trends in technology — smart devices, digital lending, fraud detection, omni-channel retail, machine learning, microservices and real-time business dashboards — all require clean data from a multitude of sources. However, businesses are struggling with tons of high-value, low-quality data in fragmented systems like data lakes, NoSQL databases and data streams. Increasingly, data comes from many different sources and tends to be machine data in JSON, CSV, XML and Parquet formats or business data like XLSX and PDF. Rockset empowers teams to serve data-intensive applications using a wide range of data formats from multiple sources, without having to model schemas or manage fragile extract-transform-load (ETL) pipelines.
Rockset is the industry's first serverless data backend that continuously ingests raw data as it is generated and delivers real-time SQL queries at scale. Its patent-pending Converged Indexing™, which combines an inverted index, columnar index and document index, is optimized for key-value, time-series, document, search, aggregation and graph type queries out of the box. It is backed by RocksDB, which combined with its Cloud Native Distributed Query Engine, delivers the performance and scale necessary for real-time operational applications and interactive data science.

NFC East Watch: Tuck Excited to Test Free Agency
Justin Tuck has spent all nine of his NFL seasons with the Giants
Giants defensive end and longtime Cowboys tormentor Justin Tuck is set to become a free agent in March, and he's apparently pretty excited about testing the market.
"I think I'm a pretty good football player, and I'm pretty sure there will be some interest," Tuck told Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post.
If Tuck departs, he will be the second big name defensive linemen to leave New York in the past two years. Last year, Osi Umenyiora found a new home with the Atlanta Falcons after 10 seasons with the Giants. Tuck has spent nine seasons with the team.
In 2013, Tuck had 63 tackles, 11 sacks and a pair of forced fumbles. 1.5 of those sacks came against the Cowboys, and he had more tackles (12) against Dallas than any other opponent.

IDinsight has entered into a two-year learning partnership with the Zambia Ministry of Community Development and Social Services (MCDSS), in order to provide data and research support to improve the social cash transfer program (SCTP). The SCTP provides a bi-monthy unconditional transfer to ultra-poor households in an effort to reduce vulnerability, inequality, and intergenerational transfer of poverty. RCTs in other countries have shown cash transfers improve household consumption and other key metrics.
The government seeks evidence on how to increase the impact of the SCTP. Zambian policies currently limit the overlap between different social protection programs. However, research from other countries suggests linking beneficiaries to cash transfer-complementary social programs amplifies the impact of cash transfers. In theory, the consumption support provided by cash transfers is not enough to dramatically change household vulnerabilities, but can provide a stronger foundation for other programs to do so. IDinsight aims to determine whether this "linkage" approach is feasible, acceptable, and impactful in the Zambian context, in order to inform MCDSS's policies around dual-enrollment.
IDinsight's engagement began with a review of the Zambian social protection landscape. We are creating a theory of change for the SCTP and collating a case study from a pilot program that is using the linkage approach. We hope these two documents will help MCDSS define the next steps of the engagement, which may include a process evaluation of the linkages pilot program.

A poignant, thought-provoking account of friendship and the toll of inherited guilt, WHAT OUR FATHERS DID explores the relationship between two men, each of whom are the children of very high-ranking Nazi officials and possess starkly contrasting attitudes toward their fathers. Eminent human rights lawyer Philippe Sands investigates the complicated connection between the two, and even delves into the story of his own grandfather who escaped the same town where their fathers carried out mass killings. The three embark on an emotional journey together, as they travel through Europe and converse about the past, examining the sins of their fathers and providing a unique view of the father-son relationship, ultimately coming to some very unexpected and difficult conclusions.

Vintage Murray Pedal Tractor with Cart. Murray 2 Ton Diesel Model. Approx 39" long x 21" tall (26" to top of steering wheel) x 20-3/4" wide.
The frame is heavy cast metal and steel pipe. The body is stamped steel with nice details.
The original green paint underneath has almost a metallic look to it. The red paint is flaking off for the most part.
There's part of the side graphics still on the paint. I soaked the chain and gear mechanism in oil and got it working. It was a seized up rusty mess, but the chain wasn't broken. Now it works pretty good. The pressed steel body doesn't have the best mounting system in the business.
A bolt and a couple rivets have been added. The body sits good on the frame and the steering lines up and works okay.
Wheels and tires are so-so, but are the originals. This is worthy of a total resto, but is a survivor that may be worth powering off that red paint and seeing just what's left of the original underneath. I'm just the rescuer - you all are th e experts, the caretakers. The cart was buried with the tractor and painted red like the tractor. Box has rust, but the red paint overall protected the original underneath.
Under the red it's yellow. The cart is structurally strong, but needs a little straightening. This tractor is heavy weight - much heavier than the normal die cast later models.

Ruskin categorises gender difference along strict, binary, lines; what characteristics does he ascribe to men and women, and can you identify examples from the novels read so far that support or challenge these notions?
Ruskin's work was very influential on Victorian women; why do you think this might have been the case, and do you find this surprising?
Compare Nightingale's understanding of women's position, character and potential with Ruskin. What does Nightingale see as the main obstacles to the full development of that potential? From the reading that we've done thus far on the module what would you identify that supports this view?

Q: OpenMP and Python I have experience in coding OpenMP for Shared Memory machines (in both C and FORTRAN) to carry out simple tasks like matrix addition, multiplication etc. (Just to see how it competes with LAPACK). I know OpenMP enough to carry out simple tasks without the need to look at documentation.
Recently, I shifted to Python for my projects and I don't have any experience with Python beyond the absolute basics.
My question is :
What is the easiest way to use OpenMP in Python? By easiest, I mean the one that takes least effort on the programmer side (even if it comes at the expense of added system time)?
The reason I use OpenMP is because a serial code can be converted to a working parallel code with a few !$OMPs scattered around. The time required to achieve a rough parallelization is fascinatingly small. Is there any way to replicate this feature in Python?
From browsing around on SO, I can find:

*

*C extensions

*StackLess Python

Are there more? Which aligns best with my question?

A: Maybe your response is in Cython:
"Cython supports native parallelism through the cython.parallel module. To use this kind of parallelism, the GIL must be released (see Releasing the GIL). It currently supports OpenMP, but later on more backends might be supported."  Cython Documentation

A: There is a package called pymp, which the author described it as a package that brings OpenMP-like functionality to Python. I have tried using it, but with different use case: file processing. It worked. I think it is quite simple to use.
Below is a sample taken from the GitHub page:
import pymp
ex_array = pymp.shared.array((100,), dtype='uint8')
with pymp.Parallel(4) as p:
    for index in p.range(0, 100):
        ex_array[index] = 1
        # The parallel print function takes care of asynchronous output.
        p.print('Yay! {} done!'.format(index))

A: Cython
Cython has OpenMP support: With Cython, OpenMP can be added by using the prange (parallel range) operator and adding the -fopenmp compiler directive to setup.py.
When working in a prange stanza, execution is performed in parallel because we disable the global interpreter lock (GIL) by using the with nogil: to specify the block where the GIL is disabled.
To compile cython_np.pyx we have to modify the setup.py script as shown below. We tell it to inform the C compiler to use -fopenmp as an argument during compilation - to enable OpenMP and to link with the OpenMP libraries.
from distutils.core import setup
from distutils.extension import Extension
from Cython.Distutils import build_ext
setup(
    cmdclass = {"build_ext": build_ext},
    ext_modules = [
        Extension(
            "calculate",
            ["cython_np.pyx"],
            extra_compile_args = ["-fopenmp"],
            extra_link_args = ["-fopenmp"]
        )
    ]
)

With Cython's prange, we can choose different scheduling approaches. With static, the workload is distributed evenly across the available CPUs. However, as some of your calculation regions are expensive in time, while others are cheap - if we ask Cython to schedule the work chunks equally using static across the CPUs, then the results for some regions will complete faster than others and those threads will then sit idle.
Both the dynamic and guided schedule options attempt to mitigate this problem by allocating work in smaller chunks dynamically at runtime so that the CPUs are more evenly distributed when the workload's calculation time is variable. Thus, for your code, the correct choice will vary depending on the nature of your workload.
Numba
Numba's premium version, NumbaPro, has experimental support of a prange parallelization operator for working with OpenMP.
Pythran
Pythran (a Python-to-C++ compiler for a subset of Python) can take advantage of vectorization possibilities and of OpenMP-based parallelization possibilities, though it runs using Python 2.7 only. You specify parallel sections using pragma omp directives (very similarly to Cython's OpenMP support described above), e.g.:

PyPy
The JIT Python compiler PyPy supports the multiprocessing module (see following) and has a project called PyPy-STM "a special in-development version of PyPy which can run multiple independent CPU-hungry threads in the same process in parallel".
Side note: multiprocessing
OpenMP is a low-level interface to multiple cores. You may want to look at multiprocessing. The multiprocessing module works at a higher level, sharing Python data structures, while OpenMP works with C primitive objects (e.g., integers and floats) once you've compiled to C. It only makes sense to use OpenMP if you're compiling your code; if you're not compiling (e.g., if you're using efficient numpy code and you want to run on many cores), then sticking with multiprocessing is probably the right approach.

A: Due to GIL there is no point to use threads for CPU intensive tasks in CPython. You need either multiprocessing (example) or use C extensions that release GIL during computations e.g., some of numpy functions, example.
You could easily write C extensions that use multiple threads in Cython, example.

A: To the best of my knowledge, there is no OpenMP package for Python (and I don't know what it would do if there were one).  If you want threads directly under your control, you will have to use one of the threading libraries.  However, as pointed out by others, the GIL (Global Interpreter Lock) makes multi-threading in Python for performance a little... well, pointless*.  The GIL means that only one thread can access the interpreter at a time.
I would suggest looking at NumPy/SciPy instead.  NumPy lets you write Matlab-esque code where you are operating on arrays and matrices with single operations.  It has some parallel processing capabilities as well, see the SciPy Wiki.
Other places to start looking:

*

*Experiences Making CPU Bound Tasks Much Faster

*Speeding up Python (NumPy, Cython and Weave)
* Ok, it isn't pointless, but unless the time is consumed outside of Python code (like by an external process invoked via popen or some such), the threads aren't going to buy you anything other than convenience.

A: If you want to release GIL and use OpenMP ypu can take a look at Cython. It offers a simple parallelism for some common tasks. You can read more in Cython documentation.

A: http://archive.euroscipy.org/talk/6857 "introduces Cython's OpenMP abilities focussing on parallel loops over NumPy arrays. Source code examples demonstrate how to use OpenMP from Python. Results for parallel algorithms with OpenMP show what speed-ups can be achieved for different data sizes compared to other parallelizing strategies."

Pigot's Directory of Lifford, Co. Donegal, Ireland 1824
Extracted from Pigot & Co.'s City of Dublin and Hibernian Provincial Directory
Transcribed, Compiled and Submitted by Len Swindley, Melbourne, Australia
***ORIGINAL SPELLING HAS BEEN RETAINED***
LIFFORD
The county and assize town of Donegal, is pleasantly situated on the banks of the river Foyle, one hundred and one miles north-north-west of Dublin, three quarters of a mile from Strabane, eight north-west of Newtownstewart, and eleven south of Londonderry: it is under the patronage of the Earl of Erne, and before the union sent two members to the Irish parliament. The county infirmary is much too small for the county. In the reign of Charles II, it was a barrack for a troop of horse; it was purchased from the government by Richard Cowan, esq., and afterwards sold to the county for the present purpose. A new gaol, new building, is expected to be finished in the early part of 1825; it will be a spacious semi-circular edifice, and will add much to the beauty of the town; the court-house is adjacent. The church is a handsome structure with a square tower; the Rev. Wm. Knox is the present rector. In the reign of James II, Sir Richard Hansard, Bart, of Lincolnshire, bequeathed fifty pounds per annum, and a house for the education of the poor of the parish. Lifford is remarkable for a rigorous resistance made by Capt. Hamill, with a small body of men, against a detachment of James the Second's army, previous to the siege of Derry in the year 1690. The fairs and market are held at Strabane. Population about 400

I think one of the toughest lessons in life is realizing everyone wasn't created to think, love, support and give like you. What's even harder, is truly accepting them for who they are. It's not their fault.
Over the past few months or so, I've been slowly eliminating people who "support" me, but don't actually support me. You know?
The people who claim they want the best for you until you piss them off or surpass them in some way. "Friends" who suddenly stop liking your pictures, sharing your posts and attending your outings. Or, the ones who find something negative to say about every little thing you do.
Yes, them. Frenemies, I guess?
If you, my "friend," can say or show me how much you DON'T support me when you're upset with me, I don't need you in my life. Upset or not, deep down in your heart you do NOT support me – your angry actions will forever speak VOLUMES.
There are people I didn't necessarily want to let go of, but had to, simply because who they were failed to align with who I was striving to be. I don't love them any less as an individual, I just refuse to allow their negativity and complacency to claim a place in my life.
So many of us sacrifice our peace of mind and sanity trying to accept the flaws in people who don't care to change.
But, how could I possibly be upset with someone for being exactly who they are?
Well…there's a thin line between embracing your flaws and being too stubborn to work on your flawed behavior. That same line applies to loving someone flaws and all, while sacrificing pieces of you just to love them.
I've put myself in so many mentally and spiritually draining situations by loving and pouring into people who were too selfish to love and pour back, or too insecure with their own lack of progress and success to genuinely accept and applaud mine.
Nobody needs people like that in their circle.
"That's just how I am," they say.
But no, that's not good enough.
Internalizing your insecurities and taking them out on other people is NOT okay.
We all fall short, have issues and struggle with overcoming certain characteristics; we also ALL have the ability to change those things.
I had to learn to stop making excuses for people's flawed behavior when it proved time and time again to be detrimental to me and the path I was creating for myself.
You don't have to put up with anything you don't see fit for the betterment of YOU. Period.
I'm at a point in my life where I'm striving to emerge myself in mutually nurturing and evolving friendships and relationships.
Everyone needs a good support system; a team that is genuinely rooting for you under any and all circumstances.
I never want to question the motives or genuineness of someone I consider my friend. I shouldn't have to hold back or feel as though I'm unable to share my aspirations, goals, and ideas with my "friend" because I fear they're secretly hoping for my downfall. That is not true friendship.
Because of situations like this, I have truly learned to love certain people from a distance. I've also learned to stop giving people the opportunity to pollute the positive energy I've worked so hard to maintain, perfect and protect.
What I'm not doing in 2017 is carrying dead weight. I'm cutting ties because sometimes holding on does more damage than letting go.

Don't know yet, anybody have any ideas?
I'll tell you if I approve.
Do you have something you would like for it?
ACK! Black on black is hard to read!
Um...maybe some books or video games or something. But then again, my parents would flip if they found out people from the Internet brought me something.
Oops, sorry about that when I changed the color of text I forgot.

Mahatma Gandhi's birthplace
A bustling port city, dotted with grand temples, historical monuments and serene beaches, Porbandar, in Gujarat, is a cornucopia of culture, snuggled in Saurashtra. Renowned as the birthplace of Mahatma Gandhi, Father of the Nation, Porbandar acts as the gatekeeper of the rich heritage of the region. From a majestic gurukul that keeps alive ancient Vedic sciences to a unique temple that portrays the nuances of Gandhiji's life, Porbandar takes one back to the pages of history. Legend has it that this city was the birthplace of Lord Krishna's friend-turned-devotee Sudama, and the one-of-its-kind Sudama Mandir in Porbandar echoes with the tales of the friendship of Lord Krishna and Sudama.
For centuries, Porbandar has been an affluent trading destination, exchanging spices, fabrics and sundry wares with countries in the Gulf, Arab and Persian regions as well as in East Africa. Porbandar finds a place in Skanda Purana, an ancient Indian text, as Ashmavati and Sudamapuri. Around the coast, visitors can spot historical ports and jetties that prove that Porbandar was once a centre of maritime activities.
