OverHolland investigates the connection between architectural interventions and urban transformations, taking the cities of Holland as its point of departure. The possible logic of urban architecture is investigated through theoretical, historical, and design studies.
Volume 8 opens with the first section of a study of the organization of design and building practice in the cities of Holland. In this article, the second section of which will appear in the next volume of OverHolland, Gea van Essen and Merlijn Hurx identify a few basic tendencies in the development of design and building practice in the cities of Holland from the fourteenth to the nineteenth centuries. Their work fills a gap in contemporary architectural and building history; the inquiries thus far in this field have mainly focused on specialized topics, and until now no general survey has been published. In the first section, the emphasis is on church building in the fifteenth century and the municipal Public Works in the centuries that followed.
The next three articles focus on more recent practices of architecture. As a sequel to the design studies for Dutch cities published in OverHolland 7, these contributions highlight the critical potential of architectural design. In 'Empty Whole: The design of the warehouse district of the city', the architects Stefano Milani, Filip Geerts, Arek Seredyn, and Radek Brunecky present their design contribution to the newly planned northern Italian city of VeMa. They take the theme of the ideal city and scrutinize it polemically, in the light of the traditions of rationalism and realism in architecture. The architects' design shows that these currents of thought are still influential among the young generation.
Another sign that rationalism coupled with realism is still alive and kicking among the current generation of architects, and may even be entering a new phase, is the contribution by the architect and theoretician Pier Vittorio Aureli. We publish a chapter from his book The Project of Autonomy. Politics and Architecture within and against Capitalism (New York: Princeton Architectural Press, 2008). Aureli dares to exhume the work of Aldo Rossi, which many have pronounced dead. He grapples with Rossi's concept of the political, a previously underexamined and often poorly understood aspect of the Italian architect's thinking. Aureli arrives at a plausible understanding of this concept by linking it to Italian political and philosophical debates from the 1960s, particularly the work of Mario Tronti.
Emre Altürk's inquiry also focuses on the 1960s period in Italian architecture. He describes the transformation that then took place in the role of representation in the profession. In some schools of architecture of the period, architectural drawing acquired a nontraditional role and purpose. Altürk concentrates on attempts by architects to use drawing as a means of social criticism.
The last two articles investigate the current state of research on Dutch heritage in the domain of spatial planning and architecture. Point of departure for the article by Jaap Evert Abrahamse, Henk Baas and Reinout Rutte is the recent report entitled Erfgoedbalans, which provides a national overview of three areas: built heritage, the manmade landscape, and archaeological heritage. The authors take a highly critical stance, especially with regard to the lack of synthesis, the theoretical framework, and the limited pool of research relevant to the report.
The closing book review by Reinout Rutte sounds a similar note. In the section Polemen, he evaluates the flood of historical city atlases and city monographs published in the Netherlands in recent years. As in the case of the Erfgoedbalans, Rutte notes a preponderance of specialized descriptive studies and a deplorable lack of synthesizing and comparative surveys.

The study of the designers and builders of architectural works is one of the central themes of architectural history. Over the last few decades, interest in this area has broadened to include not only prominent individuals but also the structure of design and building practice. In the Low Countries, the architectural historian Meischke was one of the first to perform extensive research on developments in the organization of the building profession. This line of research has made great advances in the past fifteen years with the publication of several noteworthy doctoral theses. Kolman's 1993 thesis investigates the building industry in Kampen from the fifteenth to the midseventeenth century, and Steenmeijer's 2001 thesis on Arent van 'sGravensande deals in passing with municipal construction companies in Leiden and The Hague.
Other researchers have opted for a thematic approach, dealing with multiple cities at once. In a 2001 thesis, Van Tussenbroek investigates the Van Neurenberg family's trade in stone in the Maas river valley and the cities of Holland in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. A similarly specific topic was chosen by Gerritsen, whose 2004 thesis deals with the role of drawings in design and building practice in the seventeenthcentury Dutch Republic. At Utrecht University, Röell is currently engaged in a followup study of the same topic, focusing on the eighteenth century. The emergence of municipal construction companies in various cities in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries is being investigated from a comparative perspective by Medema, who recently finished his research, and by Van Essen, who is soon to complete her thesis. Van Essen analyzes the development of the office of the stadsfabriek in the seventeenthcentury Dutch Republic, taking Amsterdam and Groningen as her two main case studies. Medema's work is thematically linked to Van Essen's, but focuses on the eighteenth century, a period when on the whole the industry shrank, necessitating reorganization and professionalization. The most recent investigation of civic building activity in Holland was carried out by Hurx and examines the major city churches that are among the first largescale works of civic architecture in Holland.
Because of the scale and complexity of these issues, many of the abovementioned studies are restricted to a narrowly defined topic, period, or geographical area. There is still no general survey of the development of design and building practice in the cities of Holland over an extended period. In this article we attempt, on the basis of our own research, to sketch a few main lines of development from the fourteenth to the nineteenth century and to point out a few gaps in our current knowledge. In examining the leading public works of civic architecture, the authors aim to trace the most significant transformations through the centuries, in the belief that organizational changes can best be explained by reference to shifts in the demand for building work. The emphasis lies on church building in the fifteenth century and on the municipal building industry in later centuries, because these activities showed a high degree of organization.
The article will be published in two consecutive issues of OverHolland, in which various authors will discuss the periods of growth and contraction in the demand for building work, in chronological order. Each of the two parts will begin with a brief introductory section presenting the periods and major themes to be examined. In part I, which covers the period from the fourteenth to the sixteenth century, Hurx begins with the boom in the construction of city churches in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Van Essen then describes how city authorities assumed increasing responsibility for public works in the fifteenth and particularly the sixteenth century. Part II will begin with an examination of the massive increase in the scale of building work in the seventeenth century, stemming from the explosive growth of a number of cities. In this section, Van Essen will describe the development of the office of the stadsfabriek into a largescale municipal construction company. In the second section of part II, Medema will discuss the reorganization of the building sector in the eighteenth century as a result of economic decline.
We assume that fluctuations in the demand for building work not only had a crucial impact on the makeup of the building industry as a whole, but also had consequences for the specialists at the top of that industry. The base of the building trade remained largely unchanged until the eighteenth century; in the cities, it was composed largely of small, autonomous workshops each devoted to a single craft, and each consisting of a single master craftsman with a small number of assistants and apprentices. Even in times of economic recession, there was enough demand for labour to ensure the continued existence of this group of artisans. In many cities in Holland, they formed guilds, which were founded between the fourteenth and the seventeenth century. The development and organization of these guilds will not be discussed in detail here, because they did not have a decisive influence on public works. When the church and the city authorities commissioned architectural works, they were not generally subject to guild regulations.
The top of the industry was formed in part by officials responsible for the administrative and financial aspects of building projects. They often coordinated building projects on behalf of the commissioning body and made decisions about daytoday expenditure (usually up to a specified maximum). But they frequently lacked the expertise to manage the technical and aesthetic aspects of such projects, and specialized professionals were engaged for this purpose. Such experts were relatively vulnerable to shifts in the supply of building work, because they were needed only for complex projects. We contend that the larger the amount of building work requiring special technical, logistical, or aesthetic expertise, the more pronounced the division of labour, and the larger the organizational distance between these experts and the labourers. The remainder of this article investigates this proposed relationship in greater depth.
Because of the dynamics in the hierarchical organization of the building trade, it is sometimes difficult to determine the precise composition of the top level. The role of experts in the building process could vary from project to project, and the terminology used at the time can be misleading. Given that these potential sources of confusion are encountered throughout the period in question, a brief discussion of them is advisable.
In the fifteenth and early sixteenthcentury Low Countries, the individual who supervised the building process on behalf of the commissioning party was generally referred to as the werkmeester or something similar. But this word also had other uses; in particular, it could serve as a generic term for any expert practitioner of a craft or trade. In fifteenthcentury Latin sources, several terms are used to denote the werkmeester, namely archilathomus, archilapicida, and architectus. The prefix archi comes from the Greek αρχι ('uppermost') or from αρχω ('to lead'), while lathomus and lapicida mean stonemason and tectus is derived from the Greek word for craftsman or carpenter, τηκτων. This etymology reflects the original, leadership role of the architectus, who supervised a variety of activities ranging from drawing up building plans (in the broadest sense) to managing workers through written and oral instructions, drawings and templates. The architectus might also be responsible for the quality of the building materials and the logistics of transporting them to the site.
In the course of the sixteenth century, the nativized word architect came into widespread use. Until the eighteenth century, it was primarily a term for the individual who supervised a building project and was used only in a secondary sense for the individual who produced the designs.
Throughout this period, the Dutch word architect had more than one meaning, and primary sources sometimes use the term in ways which have nothing to do with architectural design. This historical Dutch term often does not correspond to its modern English and Dutch cognate, architect, which refers primarily to the designer of a structure. Throughout the remainder of this article, the word architect is used in the historical sense of the organizer and leader of a building project – who may or may not also have been the designer. Individuals who did no more than contribute design drawings will be referred to in more neutra

Empty Whole: the design of the warehouse district of the city
The X. Edition of the Venice Architecture Biennale (2006) showcased in the then newly inaugurated Italian pavilion at the Arsenale the results of an ambitious initiative by Franco Purini: the proposal for the new city of VeMa, scheduled for completion in 2026. 'VeMa' may sound like the name of an apocryphal city envisaged by Italo Calvino, but in fact it stands for the location intended for this contemporary 'foundation town' (città di fondazione), halfway between Verona and Mantova (Fig. 1)
Nowadays unanticipated exnovo opportunities emerging as mirages from the desert in the Middle East and the Far East make the schism between acts of architecture and the desire for the city painfully clear. VeMa addressed this issue in the context of a particular European cityregion.
The proposal for a città di fondazione as a contemporary ideal city in the context of the often lamented, sometimes celebrated, sprawling urbanised region in the north of Italy (coined città diffusa) was a radical alternative to reality. The introduction to the catalogue for the Italian pavilion points out that VeMa also represents an alternative tendency to the main exhibition 'Cities, architecture and society', curated by Ricky Burdett. Whereas the general exhibition showed through photography, maps and giant histograms the unprecedented demographic growth witnessed in sprawling global cities, VeMa is not interested in either diagnosing or celebrating this reality but in proposing a different territorial scenario: a settlement paradigm for a town of no more than 30,000 inhabitants. It accepts the 'shrinking' of the large metropolitan centres witnessed throughout Europe – not in favour of sprawl, but by proposing an exnovo town centre, presumably one of many.
From its first public display at the Venice Biennale the idea of VeMa generated consistent interest in both the local and national press in Italy. Immediately evident in the discussion is the strategic potential of this abstract proposal – to establish a dialogue embracing local politics, initiatives of developers and the expectations of society at large. In fact this radical and utopian interpretation has proved to be the crucial characteristic of the initiative: the goal was to produce with the designs of twenty young architects an overall vision of a territorial potential, in order to trigger unexpected and unpredictable reactions, even opportunities, from the 'real world'.
Purini conceived a plan for the city of VeMa and invited a total of twenty teams to submit proposals for its architecture: each team was allotted a specific site in the plan connected to a given programme which included housing (Figs. 2, 3).

Rossi's concept of the locus as a political category of the city
In the 1960s, for Aldo Rossi the construction of an alternative to the capitalist city and the proposal of an autonomous architectural culture meant, above all, the constitution of a theory of the city. In the 1950s Italian architecture had been mainly a matter of increasing professionalismo (literally, professionalism). It was an attempt to link a still artisanal dimension of design and building techniques with the urgent demands of modernization created by the rapid advance of postwar capitalist development. In the 1960s, however, with the reemergence of political struggles and new social conflicts, the necessity appeared in all disciplines, including within the internal discourse of architecture and urbanism, to find a way toward cultural and conceptual renewal. Instead of simply advancing in tandem with the further modernization of architecture and the city, the need for a theoretical refoundation of architecture in relation to the city became apparent.

Drawing Criticism
This paper engages with architectural representation. I especially focus on a particular critical agency that representation acquires in a specific context, that of architecturecity relationship. To do this, I first register the agencies of representation in architecture and acknowledge the major transformations that representation has undergone in recent decades, mainly along two axes: digitization of its media and the increasing quantity and multiplicity of its imagery. Here I solely dwell on the latter. The profusion of architectural imagery after 1950s is intrinsically related to architecture's elevated attention to the existing city, mass culture, and everyday practices which were gradually incorporating more images in an increasing number of media. Obviously, abundance of images in culture at large and architecture's motivation to connect to it gave way to a parallel increase in currency and multiplicity of architectural imagery. But, more significantly the elevation of architectural attention to the existing city also stimulated representation – architecture's historical interface with the built environment – to operate on the city more systematically in observant and critical fashions. This, I hypothesize, brought about a structural transformation in the architectural discourse whereby architectural representation, beyond facilitating the creative design process and communicating information for the construction of the building, begins to engage directly and critically with the discourse itself. Operating on a surface that is historically occupied by text, drawing thus facilitates reflexive and critical inquiries in architecture.

Dutch Heritage: Current State of Research on the History of Architecture, Urban Development and the Man-made Landscape
In its recent publication Erfgoedbalans, the new National Service for Archaeology, Cultural Landscape and Built Heritage (RACM) provides a national overview of its three areas of responsibility: built heritage, manmade landscape and archaeological heritage.1 A general introductory chapter on heritage and heritage conservation is followed by chapters on the heritage stock in the Netherlands and the state of its conservation. The fourth chapter is about the present state of knowledge and gaps in it, while the fifth discusses education and public relations. This is followed by a chapter on spatial trends and another about policy. The final chapter discusses a number of specific topical themes, such as the consequences of the Malta Convention, the Belvedere Plan, the reuse and preservation of historical buildings and structures, and funding issues. The volume closes with an atlas section with a number of thematic maps for each province.
This article will not summarize the entire content of the Erfgoedbalans. Given the theme of the journal OverHolland, we shall focus on the state of research on the history of architecture, urban planning and the manmade landscape, especially in the provinces of North and South Holland, within the wider context of the Netherlands. A brief review of the background that led to the Erfgoedbalans will be followed by a section on the heritage stock − that is, the buildings, sites and landscapes that are considered to be of value, whether or not these enjoy protected status, before considering the state of research on this heritage.

Historical atlases, urban monographs, and research on the spatial transformation of Dutch cities
Over the past few years, historical atlases (each entitled Historische Atlas) have appeared of nine Dutch cities: Nijmegen (2003), Rotterdam (2004), Arnhem (2005), 'sHertogenbosch (2005), Maastricht (2005), Utrecht (2005), The Hague (2006), Haarlem (2006), and Groningen (2009). The publishers, SUN, have announced that more will follow: the series will in any case include Amsterdam, Leeuwarden, Walcheren (Middelburg and the island's other towns), Leiden, Zutphen and Venlo. An earlier series of atlases (each entitled Historische stedenatlas), published between 1982 and 2003, dealt with seven Dutch cities. In addition, a large number of urban monographs have appeared, most of them in the past ten years.
A critical review of these atlases and monographs is long overdue. The following article seeks to remedy this omission. It will briefly describe the two atlas series and the monographs and consider them in relation to each other, the aim being to establish the general significance of these publications to comparative historical research on cities. This comparative research is still in its infancy in the Netherlands, as is clear from the recent publication Erfgoedbalans.1 There is an abysmal lack of wideranging studies in this field. The question at the heart of this article is: what is the value of these city atlases and urban monographs to research on the longterm spatial transformation of Dutch cities − that is, from the 11th to the 21st century?

The answer is that NOTHNG is 100 percent effective against virus threats and malware. If Hackers can break into government computers with their sophisticated security programs, they can certainly break into your PC. Being too confident in your security software can lead to a virus repair job.
Full security suites, like Norton 360 or Internet Security are marketing hype and fluff for the most part. The main extra they include is a firewall. Windows has its own firewall built in and is all you need.
The only exception is for laptop users who travel or go to lots of WiFi hotspots, like coffee shops, airports and hotels. If you just use your laptop at home, only occasionally go out with it, or use a desktop PC, stick with the plan, basic-level Antivirus programs (i.e. AVAST, Norton Antivirus). Otherwise you're wasting money.
Error messages can come from literally thousands of possible issues. Files can get corrupted, there can be a software bug, a bad sector on your hard drive, faulty memory, or a software conflict between some of your programs .
While some viruses can cause error messages or even the feared Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), the majority of the time it's caused by bad drivers or faulty hardware.
This is both true and false. The only type of Malware that can affect your data is "Ransomware". That's the one that encrypts your data, then demands you pay a ransom to retrieve it. This infection can be repaired, but your data is gone. The only way to get it back is to pay.
A smart choice is to use a Cloud Backup service, like Carbonite, Mozy, etc. So you have working copies of your data.
In all other cases, data recovery is possible, even if your computer won't start up. A computer repair shop can easily recover your data and perform a virus repair.
No, a virus can't physically damage your PC. There is such a thing as a BIOS-level virus (extremely rare), that can reprogram a chip on your motherboard, but a computer repair shop can wipe and reload the BIOS manually.
We often see somebody reinstall Windows on their PC after a virus infection, only to copy their files from a backup drive and then re-infect themselves all over again. You need to make sure that your documents and data have been scanned for and are free from viruses before copying them back.
While it's true that most viruses are targeted at Windows, there's been a recent increase in Ransomware and other malware targeting Macs, usually through pirated software cracks and of course, email.
If you're using a Mac computer, you can protect yourself from virus threats by following many of the same rules that you would for Windows: Don't install software from places you don't know, be wary anytime an email asks you for your password, and avoid installing "special" software from questionable websites.

Błękitny Wieżowiec (eng. Blue Skyscraper) is a building located at Bank Square in Warsaw. The building is located in the location previously occupied by Warsaw's largest synagogue, the Great Synagogue, which was destroyed by the Germans in 1943. Initial concepts for the construction of the skyscraper had been put forward in the 1950s, and construction began in the 1970s and was suspended shortly after the main structure was built. The unfinished construction was then often called the "golden tower" because of the colour of the facade.

The work resumed in the late 1960s and 1970s and was completed in 1981. The project was modified by a Belgrade-based company, replacing the copper-coloured facade with colourless reflective material, which gives a clear reflection of the sky (hence the current name, due to the building being blue during sunny weather). The skyscraper is 120 meters high and has 28 stories. Prominent former tenants include Peugeot and Sony. Both of these companies previously installed large signs on the building, which have been taken down since

I've been excited for weeks about the opening of the film adaptation of "Les Mis": a big, sprawling, spectacular and semi-insane musical based on the novel (to which all of those same adjectives also apply). I saw the movie and came away deeply satisfied with a problematic product – even the best art is almost never perfect – but checking out critical reaction online left me frustrated; not with the film, no, but with the criticism. It's a frustration that, as a casual but sincere fan of musical theater, I feel every time a movie musical is released, and it stems from the too-common and too-arch critical response towards this popular art form: that is, an aversion to the very nature of musicals. I'm not really into musicals, intellectuals and aggressively heterosexual males declaim, marking their cultural territory as surely and as snottily as those who brag that they don't watch television. But television tells some great stories, and so do musicals; and while, yes, the premise of people breaking out into song as a means of conveying emotion or narrative mechanics is rather ridiculous so too is the premise of people speaking entirely in perfectly metered Elizabethan English, but somehow Shakespeare has never lost his elitist cred.
Criticism doesn't require enthusiasm as a prerequisite, but it does require engagement. Real analysis simply can't happen from a place of dismissal. It's fine and fair to point out that Russell Crowe is totally overwhelmed by the part of Javert, that even Broadway vet Hugh Jackman has his range stretched by Jean Valjean – but to criticize a big Broadway show for having big Broadway showtunes is not only stupid, it forecloses the possibility of any kind of real discussion or insight.
To love something does not mean to think it perfect. (I still love the hell out of "Buffy," but I also picked it to pieces on this blog; this review of "Les Mis" is one of the most enthusiastic on the entire Internet, and it still finds plenty of flaws.) But there are so many more interesting things to say about "Les Mis" – an enormous, and enormously popular, novel which has been retold as a musical (also enormously popular), movie (several times over), miniseries, and now movie musical – than to foreground one's own disdainful preferences. Rejecting an entire formal category just seems so willfully self-limiting, especially when that form contains multitudes within itself; someone unentranced by the earnestness and bombast of "Les Mis" might, for example, find themselves enjoying the meta-humor and intimacy of "[Title of Show]", even though both are musicals – but in order to discover the latter, one must first seek to transcend their own proud ignorance of an entire genre.
To a certain extent, I can understand having difficulty with an unfamiliar form; whenever I have tried to read comic books or graphic novels I am reminded of how much I prefer pure text, because it is just an easier way for my mind to work. Compiling dialogue and thought-bubbles and illustration is, to me, like reading a foreign language – it takes effort, and that effort oftentimes eclipses the narrative pleasures on offer. But consequently, I'm no more fit to review graphic novels than I am foreign-language texts, and my inability to easily absorb a form in which most ten-year-old boys find ready fluency is hardly a mark of my sophistication. Smugness and superiority might lead to a few witty zingers, but it doesn't enrich anyone's understanding or experience of an artistic property (even if that property is "Rock of Ages"), and that's something to truly bemoan.

Q: How Can I Make Two Badges (that Give a Live Status of Streaming Channels) Automatically Refresh Every Minute? Okay so I have these two badges: http://codepen.io/EagleJow/pen/bVrMZv
One is for a Twitch channel, one is for a Livestream channel. I'd like to know if there's an easy way to update the badges on the page every minute to show the current live status of the channels without reloading the rest of the page.
Here's the javascript for the Twitch one:
/*TWITCH BADGE*/
(function() {

  var user_name, twitch_widget;

  user_name = "nerdist";
  twitch_widget = $("#twitch-widget");

  twitch_widget.attr("href","http://twitch.tv/" + user_name + "/embed");

  $.getJSON('https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/' + user_name + '?client_id=' + '&callback=?', function(data) {
      if (data.stream) {
          twitch_widget.html(" nerdist
Online! Playing: " + data.stream.game + "");
      } else {
          twitch_widget.html(" nerdist
Offline");
      }
  });

})();

Any ideas?

A: You can use setInterval()
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WindowTimers/setInterval
Example:
var updateBadge = function() {

Getting A French Bulldog Rescue " "
French bulldogs are adorable, carefree, and lively that it would be a shame to leave them abandoned and homeless. Groups advocating French bulldog rescue are now active in advocating the care and rehabilitation of abandoned and neglected French bulldogs. Volunteers administer necessary medical care and provide for the basic needs of the dog until they find a suitable home where they are cared for. However, for some French bulldogs, it may take them awhile to be relocated to permanent homes. There are some French bulldogs that go through a traumatic ordeal that it alters their warm and affectionate temperament. It's either they become too aggressive or too timid.
Not all people that send their French bulldogs to a French bulldog rescue center in a bad condition. Some owners surrender their French bulldogs to a rescue center because they cannot care for the dog anymore. There are owners who have to relocate and cannot take their dogs with them. Other owners cannot afford the costs of taking care of a dog. French bulldogs tend to have special needs, especially if they suffer from conditions like heart problems and spinal disorders. However, there are really irresponsible owners that hurt and neglect their French bulldogs. In such cases, volunteers rescue these French bulldogs and take them to the center.
Do yourself, the dog, and the entire community a favor by assessing your motivation for adopting the dog. Would you really consider yourself a dog lover or do you just find them cute? Because if it's just the latter, don't even bother getting one. Dogs are pretty much like children. They have special needs and require constant attention and care. You have to examine your budget, schedule, and dedication. You have to play with them for at least 30 minutes, take them out on walks, feed them, bathe them, and bring them to the veterinarian.
Should you decide to get a French bulldog, you should consider adopting one from a French bulldog rescue center instead. You will give these dogs a new home and a chance to have a better life. Adoption is cheaper and you will surely get a healthy dog from a legitimate rescue center. Plus, most rescue centers provide a starter kit for new owners of the French bulldog. This is so much better than supporting pet stores that only breed for profit. Many of these pet stores overlook the welfare of the animals. With a French bulldog rescue center, you are assured of genuine care for the dog.

nudity At a strip club a woman takes off her bra but you don't really see anything as she blurs out of focus. Another woman is seen so briefly it's hard to tell her breasts are bare. A woman is relaxing on a sofa with one bare breast showing. A couple is seen making out in bed. Nothing is shown. A man tries to force a woman to kiss.
violence A man tries to force a girl to kiss him and when she does not comply, he beats her and leaves her in the woods. The beating is offscreen, but the reactions of other characters and the aftermath is seen. A man is shot in the head on screen while a teenage girl watches. A man is shot and his niece finds him dead.
profanity A few F words, shit is used five or six times, bitch is said a couple of times, other name calling such as loser and dumb is used.
alcohol The entire film is about a meth dealer and a guy who owns a meth production ring. One of the characters frequently "taste tests" the product he sells and it is said that he has an addiction. Drugs are referred to as "hillbilly crack".
frightening There are two explosions that are extremely frightening because they are sudden and signify the deaths of two major characters. The scene where Bobby beats up Amber is quite frightening because of the relentless violence against a woman. While the actual attack isn't seen, the aftermath of Amber in the hospital is very intense.

Long-awaited 'Below' runs at 4K 60 FPS on Xbox One X, aiming for 2018 launch
Below might launch this year and got a significant upgrade on Xbox One X.
Below was initially teased close to the original Xbox One's reveal, and since then has been delayed numerous times. Recently, the developer said that it would "go dark" until the team had more information to share. Well, it seems like that day has arrived after all these months.
In an interview between Capybara Games and Engadget, more details about the project were revealed. Creative director Kris Piotrowski said the following when asked about a concrete release date.
I still can't say the exact date, but we are aiming for this year − although we've said that over and over, so. We have all the systems in place and now we're kind of going deeper and deeper through the world, and polishing and trying to just get it all packaged up... It's one of the few benefits of spending so long, a new television resolution has appeared in our development.
Engadget was able to confirm that the game now runs at 4K resolution and 60 FPS on the Xbox One X. This is a significant leap for the visuals because this means that the game should look crisp even on 4K displays. Upscaling 1080p images gives games a blurry appearance.
Below is a top-down roguelike game which focuses on exploration and melee combat. You're tasked with exploring a network of underground areas as you acquire better gear. However, death is permanent and once you're killed, you have to start the game from the beginning. The more you play, the more you learn, and can hopefully complete the game on your next attempt. The game is an Xbox One console exclusive also in development for PC.

Super Mario 64: How to Shoot into the Wild Blue
Guide To Learn How To Shoot into the Wild Blue In Super Mario 64
On this occasion we bring the guide to a classic Nintendo game well known among fans of the franchise and it is Super Mario 64. This time we will talk specifically about Wild Blue, which is the third mission in Whomp's Fortress, so it is vitally important that you know how to Shoot into the Wild Blueand in this guide we will teach you everything you need to know for it.
How to Shoot into the Wild Blue in Super Mario 64?
The first thing you have to do in the game is go through the level until you reach a Bob-omb Buddy that is near a square on the ground with a bomb symbol on it. The square will open and you can go down inside. You will find yourself in control of a cannon that you can use to shoot yourself through the air.
If you look to the left of the Bob-omb Buddy, you will see some platforms sticking out of the wall. The lower platform is where you want to go, but it is not possible to see the star from this angle.
You will have to perfectly test and judge your cannon shot to land perfectly on the platform. One trick is to aim at the midpoint of the platform support pillars above, directly above the flagpole on the platform with the star. Doing this will lead you to fall from it to your destination.
Aim a little too high, too low, or too far to either side and chances are you'll just cruise past. Doing this is a bit cumbersome, there is a much easier way to get the star. Run down the ramp under the platform, and you must prepare to somersault towards the wall, then jump the wall to the platform. Trying it as many times as necessary for this point should not be so difficult to achieve.
Now that you know how to Shoot into the Wild Blue in Super Mario 64 you will be able to take the star and complete the mission of the game without problems. Luck!

Ok, this topic that you might have read was my cousins problem. And since I'm getting a cd burner tomarrow, I'm going to download Windows XP and hopefully start the download tonight. And since I'm on 56K I would really like an error free version so I won't have to download it more than once. SO...does any one know of a verfied/error free version of Windows XP Pro...?
Make sure you get an ISO and burn it with Nero.
Im downloading the .iso version on kazaa lite right now and im 120,000 kb done and Im on 56k.
Can i possibily fix this ?
By ISO, you mean an ISO file extention of the Windows XP I download...?
Ahhh . There's too many version on SuprNova....dammit...Which one should I get? I want the Pro version by the way.


Let's face it, the Facebook Timeline is like a scrapbook for stalkers. Timeline provides an easy interface where your friends, and depending on your privacy settings, anyone in the world can have quick access to all the things that you've ever posted on Facebook.
Stalkers just need to click on the year and month that they're interested in and Facebook Timeline takes them right to it.
With the 60 or so new apps that allow for what Facebook execs are calling "frictionless sharing", nearly every aspect of your life is potentially on display for stalkers to follow.
From the music you're listening to, to where you're "checking in" at in the real world, these little tidbits of information can help your stalker learn your patterns so they can know where to find you.
It's best to limit the sharing of your location on Facebook as much as possible or not share it at all. Use Facebook friends lists to organize your friends. Create a list of your most trusted friends and set your privacy settings to allow more access for trusted friends and highly limited access to acquaintances who might end up being stalkers.
Want to make yourself an easy target for thieves?
The easiest way to do this is to share your location information on Facebook.
If you just "checked-in" at the local gym and posted this to Facebook, then any thief who is trolling Facebook profiles will know that you are not at home. This would be a great time to rob you.
You may have restricted your privacy settings on Facebook to just friends, but what if a friend is logged into a publicly accessible computer, such as at a library, and forgets to log out or has their cell phone stolen?
You can't expect that your friends are the only ones who have access to your status and location just because your privacy settings are set to friends only.
Some Facebook apps that share your location may have more relaxed privacy settings than you are comfortable with and may be blabbing your location without you realizing it.
Check your privacy settings and also check to see what information your Facebook apps are sharing with your friends and the rest of the world. Limit them as much as possible to protect your privacy and personal safety. Never ever post that you are home alone.
Anything you do on Facebook can and may be used against you in a court of law. Lawyers absolutely love Facebook because it helps greatly in establishing a person's character and where and when something took place. Facebook does a lot of legwork that a private investigator would normally have to do, such as learning who a person associates with (i.e. who their friends are).
Are you in the middle of a custody battle? Posting pictures on Facebook of yourself getting tanked at a party could help your ex-spouse with their case against you. Facebook postings often reflect our moods. A ranting status post might get you labeled aggressive or abusive by a lawyer trying to make a case against you.
Avoid posting while you're angry or drunk. If you're tagged in a picture that might be considered inappropriate, you can "untag" yourself so that the picture is not associated with your profile.
Remember that even if you removed a posting after it appeared, the post might have still been caught in a screenshot or sent in an email notification. There are no guaranteed take-backs on Facebook, so always think before you post.
Your employer is probably not a huge fan of oversharing. Whether you're at work or not, your actions can affect your company's image, especially since most people put who they work for in their Facebook profile.
If your employer reviews Facebook activity and sees a ton of it while you're supposed to be working, they might use this against you at some point. If you say you're sick and then your Facebook location says your checking-in at the local movie theater, this might tip off your employer that you're playing hooky.
Potential employers might also request a look at your Facebook profile to learn more about you. You might consider reviewing your Timeline to see if there is anything that might cause them not to hire you.
Worried about your friends posting something stupid on your wall or tagging you in an unflattering picture that might affect a potential job offer? Turn on the Tag Review and Post Review features so that you can decide what gets posted about you before a post goes live.
There are some things you should never post on Facebook. Use your best judgment and take responsibility for what you post about yourself and others.

Stars like the Sun oscillate due to acoustic waves in their interior. The study of these sound waves in the Sun is known as helioseismology, and in other stars it's known as asteroseismology. It turns out to be a very useful tool. While light travels slowly through the star's interior, taking thousands of years to travel from the its core to its surface, the stellar interior is relatively transparent to acoustic waves, which means they can travel through the star at the speed of sound. Because of this, sound waves in a star can be used to study its interior, similar to the way ultrasound is used to see inside the human body. We do this by measuring the oscillations of a star's surface using the Doppler shift of spectral lines.
Because the frequency of these acoustic waves depends upon the speed of sound, and the speed of sound depends upon the density and pressure of the star's interior, we can use asteroseismology to determine the density of the star. Since the density of a star depends upon its mass and temperature (and we can measure the temperature of a star by its color), asteroseismology can in principle be used to determine the size of a star very precisely.
While we have done helioseismology with the Sun for quite some time, doing asteroseismology with a star is much more difficult. You need to measure starlight over a long period of time, and you need to analyze it in detail to determine the sound waves. The good news is that this sort of long term data exists for some stars, such as those observed by the Kepler space telescope. Now a new paper in the Astrophysical Journal has presents the asteroseismology results of a star known as Kepler-93.
The team used data from Kepler, and through asteroseismology determined its density to be between 1.658 and 1.646 g/cc. They also Its mass to be between 94.4% and 87.8% that of the Sun. From this, they determined that the radius of the star is 91.9% that of the Sun, give or take 7,600 kilometers. Basically, they measured the width of this star to within the width of the Earth, which is extraordinarily precise.
Kepler-93 has two known planets. The closer planet (Kepler-93b) transits the star about once every 5 days. From the transit data we can determine the size of the planet relative to the star, so using the transit data and the asteroseismology data the team was able to determine the size of the planet very precisely. They found that it is 1.481 times larger than Earth, give or take 120 kilometers.
Think on this for just a moment. Kepler-93 is 315 light years away, and we know the diameter of the star to within the width of the Earth. We know the diameter of one of its planets to within 120 kilometers. That's a distance you could travel in a bit more than an hour on an interstate highway. Give or take.

Mark Ruffalo to Replace Edward Norton as The Hulk?
Mark Ruffalo is reportedly 'in late-stage discussions' to take over Edward Norton's role as The Hulk in the upcoming film The Avengers, deadline.com reports.
8 Comic Book Heroes Who Deserve Their Own Films
The star-studded cast includes Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and, possibly, Don Cheadle as War Machine.

It was announced on Monday that Edward Norton, who played The Incredible Hulk in 2008, would not be reprising the role for the upcoming superhero-packed blockbuster.
Marvel's President of Production, Kevin Feige, told Hitflix.com that it was "definitely not one based on monetary factors, but instead rooted in the need for an actor who embodies the creativity and collaborative spirit of our other talented cast members."
Norton's agent, Brian Swardstrom, responded by calling Feige's statement "unprofessional, disingenuous and clearly defamatory," and said the deal only fell apart after weeks of "civil, uncontentious discussions."

Geoffrey Rush opens Mill Valley Film Festival with 'The Book Thief' (Interview)
"I like the feel of a book more than an iPad or Kindle," says actor Geoffrey Rush. "It's one of the few places where I think you can get lost in your own imagination with a very simple tool."
If ever we needed a reminder of the power of the written word, it was on display last night in majestic, cinematic form.
The Book Thief, a period piece, starring Geoffrey Rush, Emily Watson and young, Canadian new-comer Sophie Nélisse, co-opened the 36th annual Mill Valley Film Festival, one of my favorite events of the year. Road tripper Nebraska, starring Bruce Dern and Will Forte, shared opening night honors, and played across town.
Fortunately, on opening night Stark Insider was able to spend some time with the cast of The Book Thief, as well as with Brian Percival, who makes his directorial feature debut with this film (many will know him for his television work with Downton Abbey). Below, you can watch the video segment Stark Insider filmed last night, at the MVFF opening reception followed by the U.S. premiere.
The epic film, which left the packed house at Century Cinema standing and hooting and hollering, is based on Markus Susak's best-selling novel of the same name. We follow the plight of a German orphan (played by Nélisse) who is taken in my working class family. The Nazis are cracking down, burning books, and searching basements for Jews. What follows is at times heart-wrenching, and inspiring–that stories can boost the human spirit, helping us accomplish the seemingly impossible.
During the press conference, Geoffrey Rush noted that, though he'll still use a Kindle or iPad as needed, he prefers the physical feel of real books.
"I like the feel of a book more than an iPad or Kindle," he says."It's one of the few places where I think you can get lost in your own imagination with a very simple tool. It doesn't prescribe what the exchange is going to be. Those things that are on a phosphorous screens, you've got to look at sidebars, and advertising, an d other stuff, and that's not a creative or imaginative experience."
Newcomer Sophie Nélisse plays a young girl who finds hope in the power of the written word during Nazi Germany.
Nélisse, who was picked out of thousands of young "intense" actresses. She managed to catch Percival's eye thanks to her exuberance, and ability to convey a range of emotions.
"Straight away I felt there was a spirit and energy about her," said Brian Percival. "It allows us to feel for this character who can be vulnerable at times, but at the same time can be really feisty and can kick out, lash out. Sophie was ideal."
She didn't manage to read the novel itself until after shooting was complete. By then, when she was 21 pages in, she says, she could only see the movie version running through her mind. She says she didn't even want the part, instead preferring to focus on her dream to make the Canadian gymnast team. "I auditioned just for fun," she said. For the record, she acquits herself with grace, confidence and charm in front of the press.
The film features lush cinematography (reminiscent, in fact, of the Oscar-winning The King's Speech). The costumes are wonderful too. And the acting? When you have a veteran like Geoffrey Rush anchoring a production, you're pretty much guaranteed quality. Such is the case here once again. Watch Rush carefully. Each line on his face tells a story. A subtle twitch of the eye, or arm motion, conveys more than can ever be fitted on the printed page.
NOTE: PLEASE STOP READING if you don't want to know more about the film-but make sure to watch the video below!
A few things sparked my imagination as I watched the film. The first is the interesting and unique idea of having "Death" as a narrator. It's not often that you have the Angel of Death introducing us to the story. Told during the holocaust, this technique proves a shattering reminder of the atrocity; but it also reminds us of the human condition.
Though there's no shortage of WWII narratives, this one gives us a distinctly German viewpoint (though, with actors mostly speaking in English…). As far as I can recall, there's only one scene that involves American presence.
MVFF runs for 10 more days. Tonight famed director Costa-Gavras will be honored with a special tribute followed by a screening of his investment banking thriller, Capital. Other special guests scheduled to appear at the festival include Jared Leto, Steve McQueen, Andy Garcia, Sean Penn and Dakota Fanning.
Stay tuned as Stark Insider brings you more on location updates, and videos.

Care, Local government
Council tax precept and New Homes Bonus deployed to stem social care crisis
Richard Johnstone
Sajid Javid has announced a £240m transfer from the New Homes Bonus to adult social care funding and confirmed that councils would also be able to raise the council tax precept for care by 3% in the next two years.
In his statement to MPs on the local government funding settlement, Javid announced the changes would provide an additional nearly £900m to fund the social care system in the next two years.
This would be made up of a £240m transfer from the New Homes Bonus, which would reflect changes to ensure that councils only received money from the scheme for homes built above a 0.4% national housing growth baseline.
Around £208m extra will be raised by increasing the social care precept from 2% to 3% in 2017-18 and £444m in 2018-19. However, Javid's statement confirmed that the net increase of the social care precept would need to remain at 6% over the next three financial years, meaning if councils chose to levy 3% in both 2017-18 and in 2018-19, they would not be able to raise a precept in 2019-20.
He told MPs that the government would soon publish best practice guidance on the operation of the Better Care Fund based on the operation of schemes so far.
The statement also confirmed that almost all councils in England had accepted the government's offer a four-year funding settlement, which would apply to the end of 2019-20. Authorities had to agree to the proposal, which had been set out by Javid's predecessor Greg Clark, as well as submit efficiency plans. Javid said that all but 10 councils had submitted plans to the department.
This means that today's settlement confirmed spending allocations first set out in 2015, as well as the allocations for the ten councils who did not agree to the deal.
In total, £4.9bn of revenue support grant will be available in 2017/18 and for those who accepted the four year offer, the allocations and business rates tariff and top up payments which will not change for reasons relating to the relative needs of local authorities,
According to figures in the settlement, core spending power for local authorities across England (the government's preferred measure of council finance) will fall from £43.6bn in 2016-17 to £43.1bn in 2017-18.
Pilots of plans to fully localise business rates revenue to local government will begin next year, with Cornwall and the West of England and West Midlands combined authorities set to join pilot schemes that already include the Liverpool city region, Greater Manchester, the Greater London Authority and Cambridge.
Responding to the settlement, Sean Nolan, CIPFA's head of local government, said allowing councils with social care responsibilities to front load the maximum allowed precept increase would be cautiously welcomed as a short-term boost to spending.
However, this would be "a short-term sticking plaster" and, as most councils were already planning to use the existing freedom to increase the social care precept by 2% in the next financial year, it would only amount to a real-terms boost of 1% for 2017-18.
Although the change to the New Homes Bonus will be a blow, mainly to districts, Nolan added that the resources are to be welcomed for addressing the distributional inequalities that would otherwise have been caused by using the social care precept alone.
Ray James, immediate past president of the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services, said the funding brought forward for social care in 2017/18 was "woefully inadequate".
He added: "It is over £1bn less than all leading sector experts (King's Fund, LGA and Nuffield Trust) say is needed to fund adult social care next year and the precept raises less in areas with the greatest need.
"There is no extra money for councils during this Parliament and ADASS would welcome sight of how government have satisfied themselves about the adequacy of this settlement for 2017/18 given the widely acknowledged increases in the demand for and cost of social care."
Jonathan Carr-West, chief executive of the Local Government Information Unit, said the statement illustrated exactly what is wrong with England's over-centralised political system as the secretary of state shuffled funding from one silo to another.
"Council tax rises cannot be the answer to the crisis in adult social care funding as many of the councils with the most pressing care needs have the lowest council tax base," he added.
"In the end, this problem cannot be addressed while we continue to treat health and social care as separate systems and to protect the NHS at the expense of social care. After a decade of public debate all we have is a sticking plaster of increased council tax and no long term solution for the greatest public policy question of our age."

Q: Java time-efficient sparse 1D array (double) I need an efficient Java structure to manipulate very sparse vectors of doubles: basic read / write operations. I implemented it in a HashMap but the access is too slow. Should I use another data structure? Do you recommend any free library?
Looking for some peaceful advice :)
Thanks a lot,
Marie

A: HashMap is the way to go. It shouldn't be slow. Run your code through a profiler to see where all the time goes and then optimize accordingly. If you need tips to optimize the code, post an example here so we can help with a specific issue.
[EDIT] Depending on the size of the indexes, you can use a technique as in Integer.valueOf(int) to cache the objects for boxing. But this will only work when you create lots of maps and the indexes are in a somewhat limited range.
Or you can try IntHashMap from commons-lang. It's a bit hard to use (it's package private) but you can copy the code.
Lastly, you could use your own implementation of an int-based HashMap with optimized value lookup for your case.

A: You can copy paste the sparse vector from my Hapax project: ch.akuhn.matrix.SparseVector
PS: to all those other answers and comments that dont grok why using a map is too slow. It is slow because a map boxes all indices to Integer objects!
The sparse vector presented here is fast for read access and appending values, but not for putting at random indices. Its is optimal for a scenario where you first create the sprase vector but putting values in order of increasing indices, and later use the map for reading mostly.
Important methods in the sparse vector class are
// ...

public class SparseVector {

    /*default*/ int[] keys;
    /*default*/ int size, used;
    /*default*/ double[] values;

    public SparseVector(int size, int capacity) {
        assert size >= 0;
        assert capacity >= 0;
        this.size = size;
        this.keys = new int[capacity];
        this.values = new double[capacity];
    }

    public double get(int key) {
        if (key < 0 || key >= size) throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException(Integer.toString(key));
        int spot = Arrays.binarySearch(keys, 0, used, key);
        return spot < 0 ? 0 : values[spot];
    }

    public boolean isUsed(int key) {
        return 0 <= Arrays.binarySearch(keys, 0, used, key);
    }

    public double put(int key, double value) {
        if (key < 0 || key >= size) throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException(Integer.toString(key));
        int spot = Arrays.binarySearch(keys, 0, used, key);
        if (spot >= 0) return values[spot] = (float) value;
        else return update(-1 - spot, key, value);
    }

    public void resizeTo(int newSize) {
        if (newSize < this.size) throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
        this.size = newSize;
    }

    public int size() {
        return size;
    }

    private double update(int spot, int key, double value) {
        // grow if reaching end of capacity
        if (used == keys.length) {
            int capacity = (keys.length * 3) / 2 + 1;
            keys = Arrays.copyOf(keys, capacity);
            values = Arrays.copyOf(values, capacity);
        }
        // shift values if not appending
        if (spot < used) {
            System.arraycopy(keys, spot, keys, spot + 1, used - spot);
            System.arraycopy(values, spot, values, spot + 1, used - spot);
        }
        used++;
        keys[spot] = key;
        return values[spot] = (float) value;
    }

    public int used() {
        return used;
    }

    public void trim() {
        keys = Arrays.copyOf(keys, used);
        values = Arrays.copyOf(values, used);
    }

}

A: How big is your dataset? Much larger than Integer.MAX_VALUE? the problem is that HashSet is backed by an array. Collisions will slow performance. Perhaps it's not the mechanism of hashmap that is too slow, but the fact that you have multiple collisions. Perhaps if you partitioned your data first (e.g) using another hash function, then stored each partition of data in it's own hashmap you'd have more luck.

A: For 1D sparse array, map is normally the way to go. You only need to use a library if it's multi-dimension.
If you compare access time between map and array,
   map.get(99);
   array[99];

map is going to be much slower. Any library would have the same issue.
Is that sparse array all about? You trade time for space.


Does Urban Outfitters Have A Secret In-Store Website?
Reader Chaely C tried to return a gift to Urban Outfitters, only to find that the website in the store showed that her item was on sale for $19. Chaely knew her friends paid $58 for the item via Urban Outfitter's website, and told the cashier this.
Once again a reader contacts us to complain about Best Buy misleading their customers with an in-store only website that looks identical to the "real" website—except for the prices.
Best Buy still uses a secret internal website to deceive customers, according to the L.A. Times. The website appearing on in-store kiosks resembles Best Buy's official site in every way, except for the prices. Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal was surprised to hear that his investigation failed to end Best Buy's bait-and-switch, telling the L.A. Times: "We thought Best Buy had addressed this. That's what they said to us. Apparently that's not the case." A tipster in Virginia also reports the continued existence of the secret website.
In response to being sued and humiliated on the internet over their "secret website," reader MK says Best Buy has added a disclaimer that warns customers that the in-store kiosk doesn't display the same prices as the public website.

Nitnem In Hindi
Japji Sahib (जपजी साहब)
Jap Ji Sahib is a prayer at the beginning of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib, considered the holy scripture of Sikhs. It was composed by Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the first Guru in the line of ten Sikh Gurus. Jap Ji Sahib begins with Mool Mantra and is followed by 38 pauris (stanzas) and ends with a final Salok at the end of this composition.
Jap Ji Sahib is believed to be the first composition of Guru Nanak and is now considered the comprehensive essence of Sikh faith. It is regarded amongst the most important Bani or 'set of verses' by the Sikhs, as it is the first Bani in Nitnem.
Jaap Sahib (जाप साहिब)
Jaap Sahib(or Japu Sahib) is the morning prayer of the Sikhs. The prayer was composed by the tenth Sikh Master, Guru Gobind Singh and is found at the start of the Sikh scripture Dasam Granth.
This Bani is an important Sikh prayer and is recited by the Panj Pyare while preparing Amrit on the occasion of Amrit Sanchar (initiation), a ceremony held to admit initiates into the Khalsa and it is a part of a Sikh's Nitnem (daily mediations). The Jaap Sahib is reminiscent of Japji Sahib composed by Guru Nanak, and both praise God
Tav-Prasad Savaiye Sahib (त्वप्रसादि ॥ स्वये ॥)
Tav-Prasad Savaiye is a short composition of 10 stanzas which is part of daily liturgy among Sikhs (Nitnem). It was penned down by Guru Gobind Singh and is part of his composition Akal Ustat (The praise of God).
This is an important composition which is read during Amrit Sanchar. This Bani appears in the Dasam Granth on pages 13 to 15, starting from Stanza 21 of Akal Ustat.
Chaupai Sahib (ਚੌਪਈ साहिब)
Benti Chaupai (also referred to as Chaupai Sahib) is a hymn by Guru Gobind Singh. Chaupai is the 405th Charitar of the Charitropakhyan of the Dasam Granth and is a part of a Sikh's Nitnem.
Chaupai Sahib begins after the 404 Chittar where two massive battles, including the later between Maha Kal and the devils, is narrated and the struggle of a goddess that was born as a result of the first battle and her quest for the acceptance of the Supreme Being, by her abandoning all other worldly desires, is illustrated
Anand Sahib (आनंद साहब)
Anand Sahib is a collection of hymns in Sikhism, written in the Ramkali Raag by Guru Amar Das, the third Guru of the Sikhs. It appears on the pages 917 to 922 in Guru Granth Sahib. The word Anand means complete happiness. The Anand Sahib is a part of the Nitnem (daily prayers) which are read by Amritdhari Sikhs before dawn.
Anand Sahib is chanted at all the religious ceremonies of the Sikhs irrespective of the nature of event. There are two versions of Anand Sahib; one which extends 40 pauries and one shorter version often called Chhota Anand Sahib which extends the first 5 pauries and then skips to the very last Pauri. This shorter version of Anand Sahib is usually recited at the closing ceremonies before Ardas. The Chhota Anand Sahib is included at the end of Rehras.
Rehras Sahib (रहरास साहिब)
Rehras Sahib commonly known as Sodar Rehras, is the daily evening prayer of the Sikhs and is part of Nitnem. It includes hymns from Guru Granth Sahib and Dasam Granth.
It contains hymns of So Dar, So Purakh, Chopai,Anand Sahiband Mundavani, among which Chaupai is from Dasam Granth. This Bani is a collection of hymns of five Sikh Gurus: Guru Nanak Dev, Guru Amar Das, Guru Ram Das, Guru Arjan Dev and Guru Gobind Singh.
Kirtan Sohila (कीर्तन सोहिला)
Kirtan Sohila is a night prayer in Sikhism. Its name means 'Song of Praise'. It is composed of five hymns or Shabad, the first three by Guru Nanak Dev, the fourth by Guru Ram Das and the fifth by Guru Arjan Dev.
This hymn is usually recited at the conclusion of evening ceremonies at the Gurdwara and also recited as part of Sikh funeral services. This hymn also recited before sleeping during bedtime.
Ardaas (अरदास)
The Ardas is a set prayer in Sikhism. It is a part of worship service in a Gurdwara, daily rituals such as the opening the Guru Granth Sahib for prakash or closing it for sukhasan in larger Gurdwaras, closing of congregational worship in smaller Gurdwaras, rites-of-passages such as with the naming of child or the cremation of a loved one, daily prayer by devout Sikhs and any significant Sikh ceremonies.An Ardas consists of three parts.
The first part recites the virtues of the ten Gurus of Sikhism from Guru Nanak to Guru Gobind Singh, starting with lines from Chandi di Varfrom the Dasam Granth.
The second part recites the trials and triumphs of the Khalsa and petition. The third salutes the divine name. The first and the third part are set and cannot be changed, while the second part may vary, be shortened and include a supplication such as seeking divine help or blessing in dealing with daily problems, but is usually in agreed form.
While it is sung, the audience or the Sikh devotee typically stands, with hands clasped in the folded namaste gesture, many with bowed headed, with some typically saying "Waheguru" after certain sections. Ardas is attributed to Guru Gobind Singh, the founder of the Khalsa and the 10th Guru of Sikhism.
