Q: Dynamically updating variables in ANTLR generated parser I am writing an EBNF for a simple language. One of the capabilities of the language is computing expressions and storing in variables. For example:
A = 5
B = A + 2
C = B / (A * 2)
D = C - B + A

I am generating a Python parser using ANTLR and I am able to compute the values just fine and build up my data structures.
I have an extra requirement though. If the value of variable A is updated later on in the code, I need B, C and D to get new values corresponding to A.
So far, my idea is to store the entire expression/equation for each variable. And then once the parser has completed the first pass, I re-evaluate all those stored expressions to get updated values.
But I am wondering if ANTLR itself provides some hooks for doing such a thing? Like a multi-pass thing of sorts?
Any pointers will be appreciated.

A: AFAIK, Antlr does not offer such feature.
You would have to keep the parse tree of each expression, and the dependency list of each variable to be able to re-evaluate those that are depending of one that has been changed directly or indirectly.

The Lebanon Community School system is located on the outskirts of Indianapolis, Ind., in the central part of the state. The Corporation serves approximately 3,500 students in four elementary schools, one middle school and one high school and comprises nine buildings.
Don Montgomery is director of facilities for the school system. He is responsible for all facility operations, housekeeping, grounds maintenance and any construction involving the buildings and their properties.
One of the buildings has a 200,000 gallon swimming pool and adjacent 50 x 20 foot mechanical room, which is used to store pool equipment and houses the chemicals and chlorinating equipment. Installed in the late 1980s, the pool is used by the Lebanon schools' swim teams and is available to public groups such as the local YMCA.
In 2016, Montgomery decided to upgrade the pool's chlorination process by purchasing an on-site chlorine generating system. This would improve safety because maintenance personnel would no longer have to handle the chlorine. And, it was more cost effective than purchasing and storing bulk chlorine on site.
To minimize additional chemical handling, Montgomery purchased a 500-gallon polypropylene feed tank, which injects the needed hydrochloric acid to control the water's pH balance. At his specific request, the tank was sealed with gaskets made from Viton™ fluoroelastomer, which he regarded as critical to ensuring the tank's integrity.
Montgomery and his staff ended up having to replace a control board, motor and bearings at a cost of thousands of dollars. But, before they installed the new equipment, Montgomery wanted to solve the leakage problem. He knew he wanted a Viton™ fluoroelastomer caulk, so he started searching online. He soon discovered Pelseal® Technologies, LLC, a manufacturer of hundreds of custom, high-performance liquid fluoroelastomer caulks, coatings, sealants and adhesives. Many of the company's products are manufactured using Viton™ fluoroelastomer. Each formulation features the unique properties of a fluoroelastomer: extreme chemical resistance, flexibility, high abrasion resistance and broad temperature range capability. Pelseal products also bond to a broad range of substrates, including metal, concrete, ceramic, Viton™ fluoroelastomer, neoprene, polyurethane, some plastics and other elastomers.
The company sent Montgomery a standard caulk tube (11-ounce (325ML) of Pelseal® 2690 Viton™ caulk. Pelseal® 2690 is a black, zero-VOC, one-part Viton™ caulk that provides flexibility and chemical resistance to a broad range of chemistry. The 2690 can be applied easily with a caulk gun and is suited for horizontal and vertical applications because of its non-sag flow characteristics. Each tube of caulk is re-sealable to prevent waste of the unused portion, and the shelf life is 12 months from the date of manufacturer's certification.
"The caulk performed just as I expected from a product made with Viton™ fluoroelastomer," said Montgomery. "Immediately there was no more acidic odor. And, of course, the corrosion of our equipment stopped.

What listeners say about The Moor
I can can listen listen all all day day love love this series thanks
Alice B.
I have read all of the books in this series prior to this one. I was very disappointed in this one. Just not enough to the story. I will try one more and hope it is not watered down like this one.
Cherlee
DCI Ryan is a very entertaining series.
Always love the DCI Ryan books. The narrator does a great job. A good read that kept me guessing til the end.
Diana Hart 33
love this one
I love the new addition of Sam she will bring a lot of laughs with Philips and McKenzie, I hope Jack will survive...
This book was great. I really loved the addition of Samantha and hope there are many more Ryan books to follow. I am glad we are finally done with the hacker
Trish R.
Loved the book and the wonderful narration..
Another great book with Detective Maxwell Ryan, his colleagues Phillips, Denise and Lowerson. In this one there was 2 stories that were both interesting and mysteries. Lots of murders going on.
And now it looks like Lowerson has got himself in trouble again and I'll have to read Penshaw to find out what's going on.
No swearing to speak of and no sex. Just a good clean murder mystery.
As to the narration: As always Jonathan Keeble is awesome! I love everyone's totally different voice and his emotions when he reads.
Maine Knitter
Audiobook well worth waiting for! I love Ryan and Frank and Denise and Anna and all the characters. That's one of the best parts of the series. And Sam is a great addition.
I usually don't care for circus locations but this made sense. I didn't guess the killer(s) - no spoilers - but I usually like to wait for the story to unfold.
The narration by Jonathan Keeble is first-rate. He is terrific with all the voices and accents.
And the cliff-hanger ending is only acceptable because I have the next book already downloaded. He does get himself into situations, doesn't he.
So happy this came out in audible, got it immediately and read/ listened to it in 1 day. Fantastic as always, now onto the next one. Absolutely love the DCI Ryan series, read them all. The narration was excellent as always.
Where's the health warning? These are addictive..
Like so many, I leap on new DCI Ryan books by LJ Ross as soon as they are published, but still can't wait until the Audible edition comes out with Jonathan Keeble reading. Always worth waiting for. his reading is brilliant and adds another layer with his characterisation and accents. Just as one can't imagine listening to Harry Potter read by anyone but Stephen Fry, Jonathan Keeble does the same for DCI Ryan
For this one the team is firmly placed back in the centre of Newcastle, this time when the circus comes back to The Moor after an absence of 8 years. Everyone is assembled from detectives to Chief Constable to forensics to pathologist and it's like revisiting a family of old friends.
Ryan and Anna still as happy, but in this one there's a new face added, Samantha (Sam) age 10, who literally lands up on Ryan's doorstep asking for help with a murder she has witnessed. Sam provides the main case that Ryan and Phillips tackle but at the same time Jack Lowerson and Melanie Yates have some nasty deaths to deal with. One of the two of them handles that well, the other makes some serious errors (no spoilers)
The other effect Sam's introduction has is to develop even more the characters of Frank Phillips and Denise McKenzie. They've always been a mismatched but much loved couple, in this book you'll probably fall for them even more.
This one doesn't finish with all ends neatly tied up, there's a significant cliff hanger, and as such it's good that Jonathan Keeble has also recorded Penshaw - we can move smoothly from one to the next
It's another cracker, both the story and the narration. Totally recommended
... but I still think they should carry health warnings. Totally addictive
Magic once again..
The Moor is another fantastic addition to the DCI Ryan series. This time, a young circus girl turns up on Ryan's doorstep, convinced she remembers information about a murder from when she was just a baby. As Ryan and his team begin to look into the claims, pieces start to fall into place, and the cast of the visiting circus are under the microscope.
Alongside this, a larger plot line seems to be taking shape involving young Jack Lowerson, and the return of a particularly nasty individual from earlier in the series. It will certainly be interesting to see how it unfolds.
Flawless narration once again from Jonathan Keeble.
Carol Lesley woodley
This book introduced a welcome addition to this fascinating family of DCI Ryan's unit and Samantha breathes a breath of fresh air into the lives of Frank and Denise and the readers.
SandraL
The Circus comes to town
This time Ryan, Phillips and McKenzie are trying to solve an eight year old murder in the circus community. Alongside this Lowerson, as acting SIO, and Yates are busy trying to solve a series of gangland killings. Towards the end of the book it becomes clear that the two cases might be linked. The book ends on a bit of a cliffhanger with one character in peril (good job I already have the next book in the series!)
It was great to meet Ryan's team again. As always the banter between Ryan and Phillips was hilarious. But the standout character of this book was the wonderfully delightful Samantha. The relationship between her and Phillips and McKenzie was so lovely. She is a child who seems so much older than her ten years, but is also very vulnerable.
This wasn't my favourite Ryan book. I feel that the plot was a little simplistic but it was still an entertaining story and I can't wait to get started on the next in the series.
I listened to the Audible version and as always Jonathan Keeble delivers an impeccable, flawless performance.
The Moor.
Great performance as always by Jonathan Keeble. Although I'm a big fan of L J Ross this is definitely not her best and one I can't see myself either re-reading or listening to again. Disappointed.
Edwards!
I enjoyed this book.
Ryan is in trouble!
There is always a mystery & some humour. Light enough to enjoy if busy.
Marta Nejman
Expect to laugh and cry
As a mother of a toddler this book really hit a raw spot for me. I laughed, I cried, I carried on following the lead to finding out who the killer was. Excellent work
By more if the same I mean, more brilliance, more gripping storylines and another impeccable performance by Jonathan Keeble. There will be no pause for me, I am straight into Penshaw to see what's in store for Lowieson at the hands of Ludo. Just wish the stories could be a bit longer.
grippimh
well narrated, enjoyable. didn't guess the murderer until the end. that doesn't happen to me often
B-rocks
Keeps the story rolling on.
Loved it. Listened to 6 in a row in this series. Excellent characters plots and darn good stories.
sublime narrator
yet again Jonathan Keeble does a sublime performance as narrator for this great series of books. I could and do listen to him all day long.
christine Fiske

While on the face of it these two historic figures have more to disagree about than to agree about, in particular their thoughts about fantasy versus reality, I think they actually have a fair amount in common.
Namely, Montessori and Barrie share a willingness to strike logic into the heart of adulthood, to shake us out of our habitual modes of thinking, particularly as it pertains to what it means to be a child, lest we forget that we were once children too.
Montessori may often be characterized as empowering children to take on more responsibilities, such as by utilizing glass and other breakable materials, though at the core of her philosophy is the idea that true learning happens when children are allowed to follow their interests, when they are allowed to be themselves.
For Barrie, Peter Pan is a healthy reminder, not that we should learn to fly, or that children should try to jump off their rooftops and reach Neverland, but that we should try, as adults, to tap into the possibilities of childhood that we once knew and readily embraced.
As adults, we make many assumptions about childhood. One of these assumptions is that childhood is a phase of life that must be overcome. Of course, there are very practical reasons to want to achieve adulthood, i.e,: health and well-being. But, there are other assumptions too, assumptions that I think Montessori and Barrie would both say are too readily dismissed: i.e. that adults can learn how to embrace their childlike wonder.
What do we lose when we grow up?
Perhaps the most popular manifestation of this movement of thought comes from Peter Pan, the story of a boy who refuses to grow up. Written in the early part of the twentieth century, Peter knows how to fly and his spirit takes him and his dear friend Wendy to the island of Neverland, where they go on great big adventures.
As adults, we've comfortably and often unquestionably grown into our assumptions, much in the same way we rather uncomfortably outgrew our childhood. Needless to say, these assumptions are derived, not from our experiences of childhood, but from our conceptions of adulthood.
While, at times, we may act childish as adults, and have momentary lapses where we are giddy with joy and whimsy flutters about, we usually live rather steadfastly in a world where the unwritten rules of childhood do not apply. In the words of Wendy, we are no longer gay and innocent.
Invariably, we come to envision childhood as that which must be grown out of. We outgrew it, we tell ourselves. One day, we tell our children, you will outgrow it too. In our weakest moments, we exclaim to our children, "When will you grow up!" Of course, there are also times when we lament this growth. We look upon our children and hope they never grow up. We remind ourselves to enjoy every moment.
At the end of the day, we want nothing more than to protect our children from our mistakes. We share our lessons, our struggles no less than our triumphs, in the spirit of helping our children avoid the same obstacles we encountered. We want to give them a leg up. We want to feel assured that if they encounter issues, they'll know how to figure it out. We will have helped them along the way.
"Children never stop talking about what they are doing or trying to do: exploring milieus, by means of dynamic trajectories, and drawing up maps of them".
They're always exploring the world around them, trying to figure things out as they go along. Everything is new and exciting, and they want to taste it, and feel it, and see it – always for the very first time. Nothing is more new than the ordinary and everyday. If only we could learn to see the world with their mouths, fingers and eyes. If only we had the same confidence in our mistakes.
Where we, as adults, see barriers, or obstacles, or difficulties, children see opportunities. Where we see weight and unhappiness, they see joy and lightness. Children approach the world very differently than we do. If only we could learn to see the world through their eyes once more. Who knows how to approach problems more creatively than children? We have so many assumptions of childhood. One assumption I think we should keep, is that we have so much left to learn.

Goussainville est une commune française située dans le département du Val-d'Oise en région Île-de-France.

Située à deux pas de l'aéroport Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle, cette ville a la particularité d'avoir déplacé son centre de quelques kilomètres dans la première partie du  avec l'arrivée de la ligne ferroviaire et de nouveaux lotissements plus proche des deux gares (celle de Goussainville proprement dite et celle des Noues). Le nouveau centre et la mairie se trouvent proches des Noues. L'ancien centre, aujourd'hui quartier du vieux pays, se trouve en 1974 dans l'axe de l'une des pistes de l'aéroport de Roissy, ce qui a une nouvelle fois provoqué un mouvement de population vers d'autres quartiers. La plupart des maisons, rachetées aux habitants qui le souhaitaient par Aéroports de Paris, ont été murées. Quelques irréductibles, toutefois, y vivent encore. Le Vieux Pays a été racheté par la ville à ADP pour un euro symbolique en 2009.

Après de nombreuses années de discussions et de projets inaboutis, le vieux village de Goussainville - dit Vieux-Pays - est sur le point de renaître tout en se métamorphosant. Le cœur historique de Goussainville resté à l'écart de la ville moderne est devenu en trente ans un village fantôme : la plupart des maisons sont murées et plus ou moins dégradées, des toitures effondrées, l'église elle-même (classée monument historique) est dans un état préoccupant. Seuls quelques habitants occupent encore les lieux, un agriculteur, un menuisier, une entreprise industrielle, ou encore un garage. La dangerosité de la situation, certaines constructions étant très fissurées et des murs s'écroulant, a poussé l'architecte des monuments historiques à autoriser au début de 2005 le préfet du Val-d'Oise, Christian Leyrit, à signer des permis de démolition, l'ancien château étant, lui aussi, dans un état de délabrement indéniable.
C'est un rare exemple de village fantôme en Île-de-France où rien n'a changé depuis le milieu du .

L'avenir du village passe par la création à l'initiative de la municipalité d'une ZAC vouée à l'artisanat d'art, avec des potiers, des sculpteurs ou encore des ébénistes. Parallèlement, l'église Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul, désaffectée depuis plusieurs décennies, est en cours de restauration depuis fin 2005.

Par ailleurs, à l'heure actuelle, certains quartiers de la ville (Ampère, Grandes Bornes, Butte aux Oies) font l'objet d'une profonde rénovation urbaine dans le cadre d'une convention avec l'ANRU. Les espaces verts ont été restructurés et résidentialisés et les espaces publics rénovés.

Pour l'avenir, Goussainville entretient de nombreux projets dont certains sont déjà commencés, notamment la construction de la nouvelle piscine municipale qui s'est achevée en 2010 mais aussi un projet d'une gare de fret TGV internationale dans le cadre du projet européen Euro Carex.

Des fouilles dans les plaines environnantes ont mis au jour des thermes, des cimetières, des fosses-dépotoirs de villas gallo-romaines du  au . Des monnaies romaines ont notamment été découvertes dans des jardins du village.

D'autres preuves matérielles, comme des fragments de poteries, de céramiques, de tuiles à rebord et d'amphores, confirment l'existence à cette époque d'une petite agglomération rurale et agricole, où se trouvaient probablement mélangées des populations d'origines gallo-romaine et germanique.

 Époque mérovingienne (448-751)
L'origine du nom de Goussainville remonte probablement à cette époque où les domaines ruraux prenaient généralement le nom de leurs propriétaires.

Ce domaine qui s'appelait alors « Gunsanevilla », c'est-à-dire « villa de Gunsana » (ou Chusana ?), pourrait avoir appartenu à l'une des épouses de Clotaire , fils de Clovis et roi des Francs de 511 à 561.

 Époque carolingienne (751-987)
La plus ancienne charte où il est fait mention de Goussainville date du . Rédigée par les moines de l'abbaye de Saint-Denis, alors propriétaire des terres, elle concernait des redevances en nature à fournir par les paysans à cette abbaye. Une deuxième charte semblable est approuvée par le roi Charles le Chauve le .

Dans une charte de 1125, Gazon de Burote jouissait d'un fief sur l'église, qu'il tenait de Mathieu le Bel. Il s'agit de la partie romane de l'église Saint-Pierre et Saint-Paul dont il ne reste aujourd'hui que les deux travées du collatéral sud sous le clocher.

En 1137 apparaît le nom de Rocius, seigneur de « Gunsanevilla », qui fit don d'une partie des terres de son fief à l'abbaye du Val, près de Mériel. Ce don est celui du lieu-dit la Grange des Noues où les moines cisterciens construiront une ferme avec grange (charte de Louis VII). La grange actuelle et le bâtiment d'habitation datent des  et  siècles.

Au , les seigneurs locaux portent le nom de Goussainville, comme l'attestent leurs sceaux ou leurs blasons. On peut ainsi citer Gachon de Gunseinvilla en 1221, Renaud de Gunsonville en 1238, Guyard de Gonseilla en 1247....

Certains blasons, se présentant sous la forme d'un écu triangulaire orné d'une croix signalent leur participation aux croisades sous Saint Louis.

  et  siècles
En 1331, pendant la guerre de Cent Ans, Guy de Goussainville perd la moitié de ses terres au profit du roi Philippe VI de Valois qui les donne à Charles de Montmorency. Les descendants de Guy s'allieront avec la famille d'Aunoy et la seigneurie ne sera de nouveau réunie qu'en 1468, lorsque Catherine de Montmorency épousa Philippe d'Aunoy.

 Du  siècle à la Révolution

En 1520, Anne Baillet, petite-fille des seigneurs précédents, épouse Aimar de Nicolay, premier président de la Cour des comptes. À partir de 1550, les Nicolay, grâce à leur importante fortune, entreprirent l'agrandissement de l'église Saint-Pierre-Saint-Paul, dans le style Renaissance.

L'influence du château d'Écouen, construit à la même époque, se fait sentir, notamment dans l'ordonnance du retable, pièce maîtresse de l'église. Les travaux se poursuivirent jusqu'au . Les tombes les plus remarquables sont celles des seigneurs de Goussainville et des fermiers de la Grange des Noues. Sous l'édifice, se trouvent d'anciennes caves du château dont l'une est voûtée d'ogives.

Louis XIV, fait ériger Goussainville en marquisat en faveur de Nicolas de Nicolay, en 1645, qui nommé marquis fit construire un pigeonnier, fondre une cloche pour l'église du nom de sa fille Nicole-Élisabeth. Son petit-fils Aîmar Jean projeta d'édifier un nouveau château, mais le déclin de sa fortune ne lui permit pas de le réaliser à l'exception des écuries.

Le blason des marquis de Nicolaï fut adopté plus tard comme emblème de la commune.

Pendant la Révolution, le « cahier de doléances » de Goussainville fut soumis aux états généraux de 1789. Les Goussainvillois se plaignaient des lapins qui dévastaient leurs cultures, des impôts, des corvées et du problème du transport des récoltes.

Sous la Terreur, les cercueils en plomb des seigneurs furent sortis de l'église et fondus, les emblèmes religieux et seigneuriaux détruits, les cloches fondues à l'exception d'une seule, l'église transformée en temple de la Raison, les biens de l'église vendus ainsi que ceux des émigrés, le curé obligé de prêter serment. Aymard Chrétien de Nicolaï et Aymard Charles François de Nicolaï moururent sur l'échafaud le 9 floréal an II et leurs biens furent confisqués au profit de la Nation.

En 2012-2013, l'église fait l'objet d'une restauration et d'une nouvelle illumination.

Aymard-François de Nicolaï, comte d'Empire, chambellan de Napoléon  et dernier seigneur de Goussainville fut le maire de la commune de 1807 à 1812.

Le domaine seigneurial fut vendu par ses héritiers à M. Théodore Frapart qui fit bâtir vers 1860 une maison bourgeoise dans le parc de l'ancien château. Ses héritiers sont toujours en possession des écuries.
En 1866 l'abbé Morel, curé de Goussainville créa une confrérie des dames de sainte Geneviève.

En 1870, les Prussiens occupèrent Goussainville, détruisirent une partie des archives de la commune, incendièrent des maisons et la distillerie.

Rappelons que jusqu'au milieu du  Goussainville se limitait au village et à la Grange des Noues. La création de la ligne de chemin de fer amena des activités artisanales et industrielles près de la gare. En 1905 une sucrerie, du groupe Beghin-Say fut ouverte qui fonctionna pendant  et marqua fortement l'histoire de la ville et son peuplement par l'apport de main-d'œuvre saisonnière.

Vers 1913, avec la création d'un premier lotissement au lieu-dit la Chapellerie débute la transformation progressive d'un village rural de  en une ville de  un siècle plus tard.

D'août à décembre 1914, le 69e régiment d'infanterie s'installe à Goussainville puis un cantonnement est établi dans le village pour des soldats au repos et à l'entraînement. Trente-deux garçons de Goussainville sont morts pour la France dans les tranchées dont quatre d'une même famille. Après la guerre, un monument aux morts fut inauguré par le maire et conseiller général Ernest Harmand.

En 1923, les terres de la Grange des Noues sont divisées en parcelles de  et vendues à des ouvriers et petits épargnants. Il s'agit d'une grosse opération immobilière puisque  trouvent acquéreurs. En vingt ans, dans l'entre-deux-guerres, le village s'est transformé en ville de . En 1927, l'abbé Mercier construisit lui-même la chapelle Saint-Michel, grâce à une souscription et l'aide de ses paroissiens. L'église actuelle, située sur le même emplacement, fut érigée en 1956. Elle est remarquable par ses vitraux, son chemin de croix en ardoise et son baptistère. La Seconde Guerre mondiale fut également meurtrière avec dix-neuf déportés ou fusillés, dont une famille. Après la guerre des grands ensembles se construisirent pour faire face aux nombreuses demandes de logements, d'abord les HLM de la gare (1959), puis la Cité Ampère (1966), les Grandes Bornes (1968). Cette urbanisation s'accompagne de la construction de la salle Paul-Éluard, du théâtre, de gymnases et de nouvelles écoles.

La mairie du village fut transférée en 1964 au centre de la nouvelle ville, place de la Charmeuse dans une ancienne maison, puis en 1995 un nouvel hôtel de ville fut bâti pour mieux répondre aux besoins d'une ville importante.

La création de l'aéroport Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle provoqua le déclin du village ancien, celui-ci se trouvant soudain dans l'axe d'une piste et d'une zone de nuisances sonores très élevées. Les habitants ont déserté les lieux, par décret, Aéroports de Paris a dû obligatoirement acheter les maisons mises en vente et les conserver (il ne s'agissait donc pas à proprement parler d'expropriations), la proximité d'une église classée Monument historique interdisant leur démolition.

Le , pendant le Salon du Bourget, un Tupolev 144 s'écrase sur la ville et détruit une quinzaine de maisons mais aussi une école — heureusement fermée ce jour-là —, tuant les six membres d'équipage et huit personnes au sol.

La vie économique goussainvilloise a d'ailleurs évolué pour partie, une grande part des entreprises implantées dans la localité depuis le milieu des années 1970 ayant occupé des emplacements qui ne pouvaient plus être utilisés pour le développement urbain.

Plus de  privés sont répertoriés sur Goussainville, au sein d'un tissu de nombreuses petites entreprises, la plus importante ne comptant en effet qu'un peu plus de .

La proximité de l'aéroport de Roissy Charles-de-Gaulle se traduit par l'implantation d'entreprises de service dont l'activité dépend pour partie de celle de la plate forme, notamment dans le domaine du gardiennage, principal pourvoyeur d'emplois locaux avec les différents segments de l'hôtellerie et de la restauration.

L'activité commerciale de Goussainville est toutefois réelle, la ville ayant une population relativement importante et se trouvant, en outre, aux limites de l'agglomération parisienne - de sorte que la zone de chalandise des commerces locaux couvre certaines des communes rurales ou en voie d'urbanisation du pays de France.

 Politique et administration
 Rattachements administratifs et électoraux
Goussainville est le bureau centralisateur du canton du même nom. Dans le cadre du redécoupage cantonal de 2014 en France, le canton regroupe désormais 9 communes.

La ville fait également partie de la neuvième circonscription du Val-d'Oise.

Depuis la suppression du tribunal d'instance d'Écouen en , la commune fait partie de la juridiction d'instance de Gonesse et de grande instance ainsi que de commerce de Pontoise.

 Intercommunalité
La commune était membre depuis le  de la communauté d'agglomération Roissy Porte de France.

Celle-ci a fusionné avec d'autres intercommunalités pour former, le , la communauté d'agglomération Roissy Pays de France (CCRPF) dont la commune est désormais membre.

 Tendances politiques et résultats

Au second tour des élections municipales de 2020 dans le Val-d'Oise, la liste menée par Abdelaziz Hamida (SE)  obtient la majorité des suffrages exprimés, avec  (38,58 %, 28 conseillers municipaux élus, dont 6 communautaires), devançant les listes menées respectivement par. :
- Alain Louis (DVG, , 32,85 %, 6 conseillers municipaux élus dont 1 communautaire) ;
- Elisabeth Hermanville (LR, , 28,56 %, 5 conseillers municipaux élus, dont 1 communautaire) ;
lors d'un scrutin marqué par la pandémie de Covid-19 en France où 53,79 % des électeurs se sont abstenus.

Plusieurs candidats ont contesté le résultat de ces élections, alléguant un climat « de tension et d'intimidation » pendant la campagne. Aucun de ces griefs n'a été retenu par le tribunal administratif de Cergy, qui a donc confirmé le 19 février 2021 la régularité de l'élection.

 Culture locale et patrimoine
 Lieux et monuments
 Monuments historiques

Goussainville compte trois monuments historiques sur son territoire, dont l'église et les caves de l'ancien château réunis par erreur dans une même notice de la base Mérimée.

 Église Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul, rue Brûlée / place Hyacinthe-Drujeon, au Vieux-Pays (classée monument historique par arrêté du ) : c'est la troisième église sur le même emplacement, édifiée pour l'essentiel entre 1550 et 1564 dans le style de la Renaissance, avec une ornementation particulièrement riche et élaborée pour un petit village rural. Les travaux sont financés par le seigneur Antoine de Nicolaï, premier président de la Cour des comptes, et sont vraisemblablement dirigés par le maître-maçon Nicolas de Saint-Michel. Il faut encore une dernière campagne de travaux au début du  pour terminer la reconstruction des murs extérieurs. L'église actuelle conserve encore des éléments de l'église primitive romane du début du , en l'occurrence deux travées du bas-côté sud avec un ancien portail et le premier étage du clocher, profondément remanié. Seulement les bases des colonnes et des piliers composés flanquant la base du clocher rappellent l'église gothique ayant remplacé l'église primitive au début du . De la fin du , reste l'étage de beffroi du clocher avec une remarquable décoration flamboyante. - L'église Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul n'est plus utilisée pour le culte en raison de son mauvais état et de la présence de l'église Saint-Michel au centre des nouveaux quartiers de Goussainville. Après des années d'abandon, un chantier de consolidation et de restauration a été commencé en 2010.
 Caves de l'ancien château dites crypte ou souterrains, classées monument historique par arrêté du  : Deux longues caves étroites voûtées en arc brisé sous le parc, reliées par un escalier à une cave d'un plan cruciforme sous l'église, voûtée en croisée d'ogives, encore plus profond. L'entrée se situe à l'extrémité ouest du pavillon de garde à l'entrée du parc du château. Ces caves datent probablement du  et sont antérieures à l'église. Leur grande profondeur fait paraître peu probable une utilisation comme lieu de culte, et il ne s'est pas agi non plus d'un lieu de sépulture. Au contraire, les caves ont toujours appartenu au propriétaire du château et été utilisées comme celliers. Ce ne sont pas les seules caves de ce type à Goussainville ; leur classement avait comme but d'empêcher le propriétaire d'effectuer des travaux pouvant déstabiliser l'église.
 Les écuries, la grille d'entrée et les pavillons de garde du château de Goussainville, place Hyacinthe-Drujeon, au Vieux pays : Un acte de 1347 mentionne un manoir, et une donation de 1527 mentionne un château. Un dessin de la fin du  montre qu'il touchait à la façade ouest de l'église, si bien que les caves dites crypte (voir ci-dessus) pourraient être un vestige du château médiéval. Décrit comme étant vétuste lors du mariage du seigneur Aymar Jean de Nicolaï en 1705, il est partiellement démoli par la suite. En 1719, l'architecte Robert de Cotte présente des suggestions pour sa reconstruction. Pour des raisons qui restent obscures, seul le pavillon de garde à l'entrée du parc a finalement été construit. En très mauvais état, il flanque toujours l'entrée de ce qui est devenu le parc municipal, à côté de l'église. La grille du parc sur la place Hyacinthe-Drujeon se rapporte également au château ; ce fut la grille de la cour des communs. Ce qui restait du château proprement dit a été démoli en 1791, peu après la Révolution française. Les anciens communs du château subsistent seuls à l'heure actuelle, reconvertis en habitation. On peut les apercevoir depuis la rue du Pont, long bâtiment massif avec un pavillon central rehaussé, avec peu d'ouvertures et une façade en pierre brute. Les façades donnant sur la cour intérieure présentent davantage d'intérêt, mais ne sont pas visibles depuis le domaine public. Il y reste également le poulailler, la glacière, etc. À l'intérieur, les anciennes écuries présentent un plafond voûté d'arêtes de cinq travées. Le reste a été reconverti en habitation, sauf l'aile de droite récemment démolie : elle a servi de mairie de 1846 jusqu'au milieu du . - La maison de notable construite au parc vers 1860 et aujourd'hui ruinée n'a aucun rapport avec l'ancien château de Goussainville.

 Autres éléments du patrimoine

 La ferme des Feuillants ou grange des Noues (vestiges), rue Victor-Basch : La ferme appelée initialement ferme de Goussainville est attestée en ce lieu depuis 1412, ou selon d'autres sources depuis 1125, et appartenait à l'abbaye Notre-Dame du Val de Mériel. C'était une grange monastique, c'est-à-dire une exploitation agricole sur laquelle travaillèrent des frères lais. En 1611, la ferme passe dans le giron du couvent des Feuillants de Paris, avec les autres possessions de l'abbaye du Val. À l'emplacement de l'ancienne ferme, les Feuillants firent construire un prieuré en 1740, comprenant chapelle, logis et grange. L'ensemble est vendu comme bien national en 1791, pendant la Révolution, et transformé en manufacture de salpêtre en 1794. Ensuite, l'activité agricole reprit jusqu'au début du . Le percement de la rue Victor-Basch divisa alors le domaine en deux parties. - Le logis en pierre de taille a abrité jusqu'au début du  un logis d'accueil paroissial, mais est actuellement vacant en raison de son mauvais état. Perpendiculaire à la rue, seulement l'une des extrémités est bien visible depuis le domaine public. Quant à l'ancienne grange, elle a été démolie pour moitié, et est englobée dans le site d'une entreprise. Elle aussi est en mauvais état et n'a bénéficié d'aucune mise en valeur.
 Le groupe scolaire Jules-Ferry de 1927, 17-19 rue Charles-Baudelaire : Cette école était la première construite par la commune à l'intention des habitants des nouveaux lotissements, en l'occurrence celui des Noues au lieu-dit le Cottage Montparnasse. Le bâtiment suit un plan symétrique en U, et s'organise autour d'un corps central à étage, abritant un logement. Les autres parties du bâtiment sont de plain pied. D'un côté, c'était l'école de filles, et de l'autre côté, l'école de garçons. Chacune comportait trois salles de classe, dont une dans l'une des deux ailes latérales en retour d'équerre. L'architecte parisien Auguste Balayer a employé la meulière, élément déjà traditionnel dans le grand Bassin parisien, mais aussi le béton (peint en blanc), pour permettre les grandes baies vitrées. Avec les tuiles mécaniques des toitures, les trois matières présentent créent une façade animée malgré la simplicité du langage architectural, qui est proche des écoles traditionnelles du dernier quart du .
 Les trois groupes scolaires du début des années 1930 : groupe Sévigné de 1932, rue Brûlée; groupe Pierre-Curie (désaffecté en 1975), 90 rue du Général-de-Gaulle; groupe Pasteur de 1930, 4-6 avenue du Docteur-Roux; tous les trois conçus par l'architecte parisien Auguste Balayer. Les façades vivent d'un jeu de simples formes géométriques empruntées au cubisme et frappent par leur blancheur, nuancée par un effet d'ombres et lumières. Ici, les matières traditionnelles reculent en faveur du béton armé, qui n'est toutefois jamais employé à nu. Les salles sont également bien éclairées de deux côtés. Comme d'usage à l'époque, les noms des groupes scolaires sont portés en grandes lettres sur la façade principale, accompagnés selon les cas de « ville de Goussainville » et de la devise républicaine.
 Le colombier de la ferme de Montmorency, rue Brûlée, au Vieux pays : Il possède la particularité de ne pas être divisé par un plafond intermédiaire, et les boulins en terre cuite vont donc sur toute la hauteur des murs, atteignant de ce fait le nombre exceptionnel de . L'échelle pivotante qui permettait d'accéder aux boulins a disparu, et le toit est désormais effondré, si bien que le délabrement du bâtiment s'accélère.
 La salle des fêtes, place Hyacinthe-Drujeon, au Vieux pays :  Elle était pendant longtemps le dernier bâtiment correctement entretenu du centre du Vieux pays, qui pendant les années 1990 et 2000 s'apparentait à un village-fantôme. Construite en 1924 par l'architecte Auguste Balayer qui signera plus tard les différents groupes scolaires, elle présente les caractéristiques de l'architecture industrielle de l'époque. Les trois travées strictement identiques comportent chacune une porte à deux vantaux sur la façade ouest, et trois fenêtres hautes par côté, au-dessus du linteau de la porte. Cette disposition évoque la fabrication en série. La structure repose sur une ossature de profils d'acier, et le toit est couvert de tuile mécanique. Le drapeau français sur la porte du milieu rappelle la fonction semi-officielle de la salle.
 Le monument aux morts, place Hyacinthe-Drujeon, au Vieux pays. Y figurent les victimes militaires et civiles des guerres 1914-1918 et 1939-1945.
 L'église Saint-Michel, rue Simon-Bolivar, près de la place de la Charmeuse : l'église remplace une première chapelle provisoire en bois, construite autour de 1930 au milieu des nouveaux lotissements de ses propres mains par l'abbé Mercier. L'église actuelle a été édifiée en 1955-60 selon les plans de l'architecte Nedonchelle, et sa façade est parée de pierres bleues de Huelgoat. L'orientation de l'église est inverse à l'usage, le portail donnant sur l'est et le chœur sur l'ouest.

 Goussainville au cinéma et à la télévision

En 2012, Rouben Manika, un jeune Goussainvillois étudiant en cinéma, réalise son premier long-métrage intitulé « Behind you », un thriller psychologique tourné en grande partie à Goussainville. Le film a été projeté en avant-première le mercredi  à la salle Sarah-Bernhardt.
Six films ou téléfilms ont été tournés à Goussainville pour de simples scènes d'intérieur ou mettant en scène la ville elle-même :

Q: Solving an inequality: $\;2^{x^2} \cdot 3^x < 6$ Can you show me please how can I solve the following exercise:
$$2^{\large x^2} \cdot 3^x < 6$$
Thank you , in advance :)

A: Take the logarithm of each side of the inequality, and recall the laws of exponents:  $$\log(a^b) = b\log(a), \\ \\ \log(a \cdot b) = \log a + \log b$$

$$\begin{align} 2^{\large x^2} \cdot 3^x < 6 & \iff \log(2^{x^2} \cdot 3^x) < \log 6 \\ \\ &\iff \log (2^{x^2}) + \log (3^x) < \log 6 \\ \\ & \iff x^2 \log(2) + x\log(3) < \log 6\\  \\& \iff x^2 \log(2) + x\log(3) - \log 6 \lt 0 \\ \\ &\iff x^2 \log(2) + x\log(3) - (\log(2\cdot 3))< 0 \\ \\ &\iff x^2 \log(2) + x\log(3) - (\log 2 + \log 3) \lt 0\end{align}$$
Clearly, you have a quadratic in $x$. Solve for when the left-hand side equals the right-hand side to find the endpoints of intervals to test, and determine from there the interval(s) on $x$ which satisfies the given inequality.

A: I want to show how I solved this exercise, thanks to the helps I received from amWhy, Alijah Ahmed, Achille Hui, Christopher Ernst:
$\large{
\displaystyle 2^{x^2}\cdot 3^x\lt 6 \\\\
\log_ 2(2^{x^2}\cdot3^x)\lt\log_2     6\\
\log_2 2^{x^2}+\log_2 3^x\lt \log_2   6 \\
x^2+x\log_2 3\lt \log_2 6 \\
x^2+x\log_2 3-\log_2 6\lt 0\\
x\in(-\log_26, 1)}
$

A: Hint: write the exponentials in the same base.

A: Take the logarithm of both sides of the inequality - you will get a quadratic in the variable $x$ which you can factorise. I leave the rest to you.

BOSTON –WHERE SEABEE HISTORY INSPIRES OPTIMISM
If you want to place yourself in the very center of the storied arc of U. S. Naval history, go to Boston. Thursday night I was honored to attend #Seabee75, the Seabee Diamond Anniversary reception at the U.S.S. Constitution National Historic Site. Present were former Seabees of every era since the Navy's Construction Battalions (CBs) were founded at the outset of World War II, as well as many active duty, Seabees, family members, and friends.
I was there with Nancy and Steve Bellantoni to share display copies of #thebattalionartist, alongside a slide show that featured some of the stunning watercolors their father Nat painted in the South Pacific during World War II.
Thursday night, I had the honor of shaking the hand of a World War II veteran who remembered Nat and to speak with Seabee veterans who had served in Vietnam and Desert Storm. But, to be honest, what left me feeling best of all, and most optimistic about our country and its future was meeting so many active duty sailors and officers who have dedicated their lives and careers to serving now—a young woman in dress whites who explained her specialized work as a Seabee welder, two able seamen (one, a woman actually) who wear uniforms of the Navy circa 1830 and serve as tour guides, as well as crew members, on the Constitution, and an Admiral newly assigned to Boston, and many others.
These are the people who will be making history—just as Nat and his generation of sailors did in the 1940s.

Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity in Corvallis contacted us when they realized that their front entry facade was quickly becoming unsafe due to extensive dryrot. We proposed a window system supported by Douglas fir glulam beams with commercial glass. We began construction in July, and then discovered major dryrot in the canopy's main support beam. So we replaced the canopy with a much more attractive version. You can see a "before" picture in the gallery above. We finished the whole project ahead of time, well before the start of school.
We use Sierra Pacific architectural wall systems to add natural light to any home or business, while enabling you to make a big, bold statement. With their bold Douglas fir glulam beams and load bearing structural integrity, they are a distinctive upgrade over ordinary aluminum sunrooms, storefront glazings or aluminum curtain walls. These energy efficient, highly engineered wall systems can easily incorporate doors, operable windows and skylights.
We know the heavy traffic and severe conditions a commercial building contends with. Consequently, we suggested ThermaTru Fiberglass front doors. These fiberglass doors look like wood, but they don't warp or rot like wood, or dent or rust like steel. In fact, a fiberglass door needs only a fraction of the maintenance wood and steel doors do. And the inside of a ThermaTru fiberglass door is filled with an exceptional heat- and cold-resistant insulation that helps keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer.
Our wet, temperate climate is a prime location for dryrot to occur. When wood is not protected from long term water exposure it will dryrot and lose its structural strength. At this fraternity the whole two story wall would move when you leaned on it. If you discover this in your home or deck it is urgent, please give us a call.


Introduction: The Art Fair Company presents the 19th annual SOFA CHICAGO 2012 at Navy Pier's Festival Hall (600 E. Grand Avenue, Chicago, Ill. 60611) Nov. 2 – 4. at Navy Pier. There were so many Glass Arts designed by a large number of international artists. These arts are made of a variety of materials such as glass, wood, paper, steal, and so on. Glass Arts and explain about the way to make the glass arts and introduce some glass arts in this Exhibition.
Place the mixture in a heat-resistant crucible or holder.
Melt the mixture into a liquid.
Remove or Add bubbles from the molten glass.
Add chemicals to produce a desired color (aka frit) in the glass.
Let the glass cool by placing it on a kiln.
This Glass art is made of Glass and steel. In the explanation above, it shows how glass artists use the steps to make glass art. Removing the bubbles is important, however, this glass art contains bubbles. The bubbles in the astronaut's helmet produce a visionary atmosphere. There is a small telescope inside of the helmet. So, you can have fun imagining the relation between the helmet and the telescope.
This kimono is also made of glass. This design is the imitative art of Japanese traditional wear known as the "KIMONO" and the art in the background is the imitative art of the flower of the cherry blossom known as "SAKURA". These things have positioned as traditional and beautiful things in japan. If you know about the SOFA event, or want to know more about the event, you can check it out to have a great time to see these arts. You can also check out their website at www.sofaexpo.com for more information about their events.
There were so many arts and designs in SOFA 2012, as well as a variety of themes for each artwork. Some of these themes for these artworks were people, animals, culture, foods, and accessories. So, everyone can enjoy this Exhibition, even for those who don't have knowledge of Glass Arts & Designs and have lots of fun.


Stepping from the portal, Evil-Lyn and Skeletor found themselves in a rocky, forested landscape, lightly covered with snow. The warm climate of the Gwylvos Forest prevented Winter taking too firm a grasp, so the drifts that covered the Evergreen Forest were unknown here. This was fortunate, for neither Skeletor nor his companion wished to climb the sides of the Valley of Eldor with unnecessary hindrances. Their target was high up in the valley; an ancient amphitheatre that was protected by magical wards from intruders. They were confident that they had the strength to breach the defences, but it had not been possible to travel directly from Snake Mountain into the heart of the protected sanctuary.
Clambering up the valley sides, they considered the task that they had set themselves. The Oracle would not give up the secrets of Castle Grayskull willingly, and even though he was bound to speak only the truth, his answers would be riddles. Of course, it was probable that the Oracle would simply not know how to enter the mystic fortress, but whatever he could be forced to reveal would assist with Skeletor's plans.
However he hated to accept the fact, the truth was that Skeletor was no closer to conquering Castle Grayskull than he had been forty years ago. Yet he refused to believe that he would never achieve his aims, and was convinced that he was destined to rule Eternia from the fortress, using the myriad of secrets therein to shape the world to his will. All these years of failure had been bitter to him, but never had there been the need for urgency that now existed. Hordak's return to Eternia had necessitated a complete change of perspective. Skeletor was of no doubt that his former mentor would use every method at his disposal to wreak his vengeance. Hordak's ability to wield magic greatly surpassed his own, and he was a masterful general in battle. Skeletor realised that Hordak had forced him to action, for to do nothing would be to welcome defeat. It was imperative that Skeletor gained a significant advantage, and to possess Castle Grayskull would provide the means to slay Hordak, Randor and all those who stood in his way.
After a long and arduous climb, Skeletor and Evil-Lyn reached the amphitheatre. It was a feat of architectural brilliance, with rows upon rows of seats hewn from rock set into the contours of the valley, overlooking the circular stage and columns at the centre of the structure. Yet Skeletor and Evil-Lyn had no interest in its beauty. They stared intently at the man who stood facing them. He was an old, haggard-looking character, whose usual warmth and charm was now replaced with a look of grave concern. Yet there was no fear on his face, and even Skeletor found the man's gaze disconcerting. Skeletor reached out his gloved hand, and then withdrew it quickly, as the energy of the ward surged in a flash of blue ethereal light.
The Oracle stared in silence as the Lord of Destruction and the enchantress stepped back from the boundary of the ward, and aimed their weapons at the invisible shield. Together they fired streams of energy at the barrier, determined to pierce it. The force field resisted the assault, and the entire ward glowed over the amphitheatre; a dome of mystical energy to protect the man within. For a while, the ward defied the onslaught, but the evil warriors persisted. The effort was enormous, and both Skeletor and Evil-Lyn wondered if they could continue, for their weapons were simply tools to focus their own strengths. And yet, when they were both on the verge of collapse, the force field began to weaken.
The smooth structure of the ward began to flex violently, shuddering and convulsing, before finally shattering into a million ragged fragments of light. In the next instant, the ward was gone, leaving the Oracle defenceless in the centre of the amphitheatre. Skeletor and Evil-Lyn walked towards him slowly. They were desperately fatigued, but they would have sufficient reserves of energy to fulfil their task.
"I seek your guidance, Oracle," stated Skeletor, the formality insincere.
"I was expecting you, Skeletor," retorted the Oracle.
"Then you have doubtlessly anticipated the question I intend to ask!" said Skeletor.
"Of course," replied the Oracle. "You wish to enter Castle Grayskull, and use its secrets to your own advantage."
"Very good, Oracle!" hissed Skeletor. "And you shall reveal how this may be achieved!"
"I do not know," stated the Oracle. "Perhaps you are not destined to conquer the castle."
"You lie!" retorted Skeletor angrily. "There is a way! You will tell me!"
"I cannot lie, Skeletor," replied the Oracle. "But I do not impart information on demand."
Skeletor considered his next move. He had anticipated the Oracle would prove to be a difficult adversary, but this was requiring more effort than he had expected. He was rapidly growing impatient. Suddenly he reached out his hand and clamped his fingers around the Oracle's throat. "But you answer the questions that are asked of you, Oracle!" The Oracle began to choke as Skeletor tightened his grip, gasping for air. Skeletor withdrew his hand, but an unseen force sustained the compression of the Oracle's throat. He tried to claw at the invisible force, but was unable to combat the magic that held him.
"You should ask your questions quickly, Skeletor, before your spell kills him," suggested Evil-Lyn.
"Silence, witch!" snarled Skeletor, his gaze never leaving the Oracle, who had fallen to his knees. Skeletor crouched down, and stared into the Oracle's eyes. "What do I need to enter Grayskull, Oracle?" he asked quietly.
"The key," responded the dying man, his face becoming increasingly pale as the blood failed to reach his brain.
"Where do I find the key?" asked Skeletor.
"The key... the key is not confined to one place," choked the Oracle.
The reply was unexpected. Skeletor had to think carefully for a moment before asking his next question. "Why does the key move?"
"The key protects more than Grayskull," responded the Oracle, his voice now barely a whisper.
"Protects more than Grayskull?" Skeletor murmured. Then a sudden thought came to him. "The key is symbolic! The key is a person, is it not?" he demanded.
"Yes," whispered the Oracle, collapsing to the ground.
"Is He-Man the key?" questioned Skeletor.
"No, He-Man is only... the guardian," came the reply.
"Then who is the key?" screamed Skeletor. But the Oracle was unconscious, on the edge of death. Furiously, Skeletor rose, and turned to face Evil-Lyn. "No! I refuse to let the answer elude me! I must conquer Castle Grayskull!" In his rage, he used his Havoc Staff to fire energy bolts at the columns of rock at the edge of the amphitheatre, causing them to explode.
Evil-Lyn moved to the Oracle, and knelt beside him. She gently raised his head, and focusing her mystic energy, she slowly passed her hand over his eyes. Skeletor observed from across the stage, wondering if the enchantress would manage to solve the unanswered question by magical means. Evil-Lyn's spell wakened the Oracle briefly, temporarily holding him back from death. He opened his eyes weakly, and stared at her face. "I seek knowledge, Oracle," she said, her words barely audible.
"And yet you are afraid of the answer to your question," whispered the Oracle.
"I must ask, Oracle," she said. She paused. The Oracle was right. Somehow he knew exactly what she wished to ask, and she was not sure she was ready for the answer. Yet she had no choice. The Oracle was the only person who could solve the mystery she sought to unravel. "Who is Skeletor?" she asked.
The Oracle stared up at her. His eyes grew dim as he replied, his life force slowly fleeing his body. "He is the prince who became a monster," he whispered. As he drew his final breath, Evil-Lyn shuddered uncontrollably as the significance of the Oracle's dying words struck her. Slowly she rested his head on the ground, and gently brushed her hand over his face, closing his eyes. She stood upright, and turned to Skeletor, afraid and yet intrigued. Now she finally understood why Scare Glow had prevented her from viewing Skeletor's past, and why Hordak's threat to reveal his identity had terrified him.
"Did the old man give you any more answers?" Skeletor snapped.
"No, he did not," she lied.
Man-At-Arms kept Wind Raider's engines at low output as he navigated the peaks of the Mystic Mountains. He enjoyed the slow, steady flight, and smoothly guided the craft in a random pattern over the awesome landscape. Yet he was not here to admire the view. Today Wind Raider's aerial agility and speed would be tested thoroughly, as would the skills of its pilot. Under the direction of Stratos, the birdmen of Avion would endeavour to ambush Man-At-Arms and capture his craft. He was confident that Wind Raider could perform some extraordinary manoeuvres, and that he would evade capture, but the birdmen would not give up easily. This game would prove to be hard work.
Stratos had given his men an early advantage, for Man-At-Arms encountered no one for two hours. It was a simple tactic, designed to cause frustration on the one hand and to save the energy of the birdmen on the other. Yet once Man-At-Arms had realised Stratos' plan, he used the time to familiarise himself with the features of the landscape, yet remaining alert all the while for signs of danger. He began to increase speed, testing Wind Raider's power and directional controls. He headed straight for a face of icy rock, trying to sense the location of the air currents by the way the wings reacted to any hint of turbulence. Closer and closer he came to the mountainside, waiting for as long as possible before veering away. Yet a sudden impact to the rear of the craft caused the rudder to jam. Wind Raider rushed towards the rock, unable to turn away. Man-At-Arms pulled back hard, lifting the nose of the craft upwards, forcing Wind Raider into a near-vertical ascent. With barely yards to spare, the craft cleared the peak. Once above the mountain range, Man-At-Arms levelled the wings, and turned around. Holding tightly to the rudder and the back of the cockpit was Stratos.
"I told you I'd catch you unawares, Man-At-Arms!" yelled Stratos, his voice barely audible in the sound of the wind. The winged man smiled broadly, then released his grip, allowing himself to tumble backwards in the air. Dropping rapidly earthwards, Stratos enjoyed the free fall for several seconds before powering up his jetpack and flying out of view. Man-At-Arms watched his friend disappear. Stratos had proven that he needed to be more vigilant. Reminding himself that the birdmen taking part in this exercise were in their home environment, Man-At-Arms promised himself that he would try to avoid any more surprises.
Thereafter the birdmen's attempts to ambush Wind Raider were frequent and intense. Man-At-Arms circled the mountain tops and frequently encountered a group hovering directly in his chosen flight path. While some birdmen tried to block his path, others would fly as close to Wind Raider as possible, reaching for the wings and cockpit. Their jetpacks provided them with great speed, but they were not as fast as Wind Raider. Yet they had superior manoeuvrability, and by forcing Man-At-Arms to fly at less than full power through the ravines and passes, the difference in pace was reduced. Occasionally a birdman would succeed in grabbing hold of the craft, and Man-At-Arms was forced to throw the machine into a series of spiralling twists and turns to shake off the unwanted passenger.
After a period of intense activity, the birdmen withdrew into the mountains, vanishing from Man-At-Arms' view once again. He continued to navigate a course through the mountains, wondering if the birdmen had retired from the exercise. He checked the controls, and noticed that the engines were now running too hot. He would have to take a look at the cooling system to see if he could make it work more efficiently. The control display reported no other problems, and he was pleased with the test. Turning Wind Raider towards Avion, Man-At-Arms made a slow flight over the mountains, looking forward to the meal that Delora had promised.
However, the birdmen had not withdrawn from the exercise as he had thought. As he passed through a gap in the rocks, a group of four winged warriors darted in front of him, all carrying coils of silvery rope. Realising his error, Man-At-Arms banked swiftly, endeavouring to stay clear of the birdmen. Yet he was not quick enough, and he suddenly heard metallic sounds as two small grappling hooks secured themselves around the port wing and the rudder. The ropes pulled tight, and the birdmen that held on to them refused to let go as Man-At-Arms tried to move the craft away from the ambush. But with limited directional movement, Wind Raider struggled to turn. Increasing engine power again, Man-At-Arms tried to head skywards. The engines could cope with the additional load, but without full control of the wings and rudder, he had little chance of escaping. Soon the two birdmen who had not succeeded in reaching Wind Raider on the first attempt flew closer, recoiling their ropes. They threw them again, and this time they succeeded. One hook fell into the cockpit, and the other ensnared the starboard wing.
Man-At-Arms reached under the control panel, and grasped the handle of a short sword. There was little hope of escaping the birdmen now, unless he could remove the ropes that bound his craft. Holding on tightly to Wind Raider's cockpit with one hand, he reached out with the other, using the sword as a saw. He cut through the rope that held the starboard wing first, and as the rope frayed and snapped, the birdman relaxed his grip and flew clear as the rope dropped earthwards. Working at the other ropes, Man-At-Arms managed to free Wind Raider from its entanglement, and regained full control. Yet as he replaced the sword and sat down in his seat once more, he saw that the engines were now too hot to continue flying for much longer. Once again, he turned towards Avion. Looking ahead, he saw Stratos hovering a short distance away. Crossing his arms above his head, Man-At-Arms signalled the end of the exercise. Stratos took hold of Wind Raider as the craft reached him, and perched himself on the side of the cockpit.
"The engines have over-heated, Stratos," stated Man-At-Arms. "I must land."
"Very well, my friend!" replied Stratos. "You have done well today. Wind Raider is a remarkable craft."
"The credit must go to your birdmen, my friend. I believe they are entitled to claim victory!"
Stratos smiled at Man-At-Arms. "They did not manage to capture you before the end of the exercise. Victory is yours."
"And yet I requested the exercise to end!" retorted Man-At-Arms with a smile. "Perhaps we should agree to a stalemate?"
"Let it be so," replied Stratos, and together the two friends continued their journey through the peaks of the Mystic Mountains towards the city of Avion.


I picked this up from the library as I enjoy the TV series staring Martin Shaw so much. I hadn't appreciated how much had been changed from the book when making the TV series. One of the main differences is the setting, the TV series is set in Northumberland and the books are set in Norfolk, two very different parts of England and it took a while for me to be able to adjust to the original setting. Also George is still based at Scotland Yard rather than having moved permanently to a new police force.
The story is set in the early '60s and focuses on a group of youngsters who are into racing motorbikes and listening to jazz records. A bike crashes leaving its rider dead and its pillion passenger seriously injured. Was it an accident or were they deliberately run of the road. The language used is interesting and redolent of the times. The twists and turns of the plot are interesting enough to keep me engaged but I didn't get any sense of who George Gently actually is, he remained a blank canvas the whole way through the book. This might be because this is not the first book in the series and readers who had followed George Gently from the beginning might already know him well enough to not need a great deal of detail about him but for me this was a disappointing book.


Fashion magazines and shopping have always gone hand-in-hand. Throw the internet into the mix, and you can get your style news and trends in one place while shopping with the click of a button.
Welcome to the era of content and commerce. They're more intertwined than ever, as fashion magazines get into the commerce game and e-commerce sites introduce editorial content. It certainly isn't the end of magazines; it's a new beginning.
Elle launched a shoppable trend guide on its Facebook fan page in April. The "Trend Report" section on its Facebook page features an editorial on the trends for the season. Scroll down the page, and there's a list of items you can buy to achieve the look. Users can click "love," "want," "own" to share with their friends, or they can click "buy" to purchase the item on the retailer's site. According to Mashable, this is just the first step of Elle's e-commerce initiative.
Lucky recently announced its next venture in commerce with myLucky shops, a partnership with American Express. With myLucky, readers can shop selections from Lucky editors directly on the site. They also can shop myLucky versions of sites like Macy's, with curated picks from Lucky. The site will launch August 17th.
Because is a London-based digital magazine with curated click-to-buy editorials of the best fashion, beauty, and music items online. Launched in September 2009 by the team at Tank, Because is one of the first publications to integrate retail from the start.
Lifestyle Mirror launched in February with the tagline "Instantly Shoppable." Emanuele Della Valle (son of Tod's president and CEO Diego Della Valle) and photographer Francesco Carrozzini started the shoppable online fashion magazine to integrate shopping into the magazine experience. Its editorials have links embedded so that you can shop the spread instead of reading the tiny captions found in print mags.
Online "blogazine" Refinery29 launched their e-commerce venture, R29 Shops, in June. The site has two features: you can either purchase featured items directly through R29 or buy discount vouchers for third-party e-commerce sites they feature.
While reading the daily blog WhoWhatWear, we noticed a "Shop" tab on its home page. The link brings you to a page announcing a new feature called "The Closet." No word yet on how it will function, but we can't wait to see how WhoWhatWear integrates commerce.
