Discovering Literature: 20th century
Punk - Oh bondage up yours! A personal point of view
Article written by: Shelagh McCarthy
Theme: Art, music and popular culture
Shelagh McCarthy first saw the Sex Pistols on television the day before her fourteenth birthday. She remembers how this experience changed her life and reflects on what punk has meant to her.
I was 14 in 1976. I lived in suburbia and went to a catholic all-girl school. My initial experience of punk – like the majority of proto-punks – was mediated through magazines, my best-friend's older brother's record collection and posters, newspapers and colour supplements, mix-tapes, record covers – backs and sleeves, a few popular culture TV programmes like Top of the Pops, Marc, So it Goes, radio and word of mouth. There was no social media, no YouTube – there was no internet. I saw my first live gig in 1978. My pop idol was David Bowie, so I expected at lot from potential pin-ups. I wasn't let down by punk.

Bowie, with his outrageous 1970s clothing – and especially his use of eyeliner – influenced punk which shared his spirit of rebellion and reinvention.

The day before my 14th birthday, I was sitting on the sofa watching television. British rock band Queen was scheduled to be on an early-evening current affairs show. Instead of Queen, the Sex Pistols and accompanying Bromley contingent appeared on screen – they'd replaced Queen at the last minute. History was made in front of my eyes. Punk careered kicking and spitting into public gaze through the medium of television. The lived experience of seeing and hearing that interview profoundly influenced my subsequent way of thinking. At the time I was just gob-smacked. The whole broadcast was spectacular. I stopped buying Jackie magazine and started reading the NME.
The following day's newspapers were filled with the voices of the morally outraged. Anarchy in the UK seemed imminent.

Punk didn't come out of nowhere. Malcolm Maclaren, was The Sex Pistols' manager and partner of designer Viviene Westwood. Very influenced by previous avant-garde artists and writers from the Dadaists to Guy Debord's Situationist International, he appropriated their ideas and re-presented them. Twentieth-century avant-garde practitioners, their influence and legacy in America and Britain, inspired the counter cultures of the 70s, encouraging them to cut-up, play with, subvert and destroy establishment culture…from Tristan Tzara to David Bowie, the way had been paved and signposted to the screaming emergence of punk in 1970s London. Here, as expected from an avant-garde (literally meaning the part of an army that goes forward ahead of the rest – think Viking Berserker), it became a caustic, filthy, furious and, to my sensibilities, joyous rebellion against the tyranny of the majority. Zeitgeist. But cultural and critical theoretical readings came much later. Punk was about doing.
Anarchy did not come. Culture as we knew it did not crumble, but it did grow positively in part as a result of the punk movement. Nothing happens in isolation, we are more than the sum of our parts. Maclaren didn't single-handedly invent punk, Punk didn't single-handedly right the wrongs of society, but both played parts in the formation of a more liberal, better-informed society.
Punk railed against convention and conventional means of production and consumption. I didn't know anyone at the time who'd actually bought clothes from Vivienne Westwood's notorious King's Road shop SEX, (I heard much later how easy it was to shop-lift there) but ideas could be plundered. Maclaren's carefully constructed aesthetic was ripe for the picking.

A DIY methodology emerged. Customising clothes was a fast way of appropriating the look – cutting the sleeves off t-shirts, altering their printed designs with biro, adding other fabrics and designs – ripping up and remaking - appliqué punk-style. Safety pins became an instant badge identity and allegiance and you could hide them on your school uniform. Jamie Reid's cut-and-paste artwork inspired a wealth of record covers, flyers and fan-generated documentary. Comics like 2000AD and music papers like the New Musical Express and Melody Maker provided platforms for alternative voices to be heard, but relied on larger established industries for their production and distribution. Home-made fanzines became a popular means of sharing information about bands and politics, recalling historical revolutionary pamphlets and pamphleteers, similar to some contemporary culture blogs and bloggers.
Revolutionary tracts old and new, manifestos, critical reviews, news, written, plagiarised, typed, montaged; hand drawn images, photographs and text collaged together through careful cutting out and pasting by hand – we had no home computers, and reproduced; screen printed, photocopied (not many of those – more likely a Bander duplicating machine), carbon papered, stapled at the top, or simply folded. These would be distributed, usually by hand, free or for a small cost to growing audiences at gigs and protests. Small independent alternative record companies were set up devoted to punk and New Wave music with brilliant radical low-tech art-work. New press and publishing companies emerged. Authors and audience alike became bricoleurs acquiring 'new objects from across social divisions to create new social identities'.[1] We made our own stuff.
Many years later I worked for Mick Jones of The Clash. We began archiving his own extensive collections, including material from the formative years of the band. I opened a large black bag and found it filled with old cigarette boxes. The boxes were covered in handwriting. As I read the words I experienced the same intensity of mischievous joy and delight that had filled me when I first encountered punk. The words were the nascent lyrics of London Calling. Treasure indeed. Another few boxes were full of fanzines and gig flyers. We invited a valuer from Sotheby's to give his opinion. As he leafed through the piles he would pull various flyers out and reel off four-figure sums. Authentic punk ephemera is worth big money.
The lyrics poured over as teenagers, found on the backs of records, Smash Hits, or carefully listened to and painstakingly written out by hand (no google search available) became topics of conversation and study. Through listening to punk, a significant part of a generation learned about gender inequalities, racism, civil rights, sex and poetry in a way as valuable, and in some cases more useful, as lessons learned at school. Punk politicized me along with countless others. Racism, homophobia, disability discrimination, have no acceptable place in our society. Gender inequality is a crime.
The punk movement was an influential agent of change and has become the stuff of legend judging by the numbers of people who claim to have seen the Sex Pistol's live debut at St Martin's College of Art in London.
I finally got a copy of Never Mind the Bollox – not a bought one – in 1978. My friend's brother made me a cassette, The Pistols on one side, plus some stuff by the Buzzcocks, The Only Ones and the Clash. On the other side Another Green World by Brian Eno. It was recorded over two older home recordings – Love the One You're With by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, one side, Robert Fripp's In the Court of the Crimson King on the other. I made an insert out of newspaper and tipex. That's pretty punk.
So punk is old and established now. As are many punks. Much has been written about punk's impact and legacy, the people involved, its influences. Its unique style and methodology are well recognised, its status as a political and cultural movement endorsed by the state and capitalist market it initially sought to destroy.
Is what punk espoused still pertinent or has it become just a nostalgia-inducing fetishised commodity? Maybe it's a bit of both. I always found punk very accommodating. All comers welcome – except hippies and bigots. It taught me valuable life lessons: nihilism only gets you so far, question authority, know your rights, don't wear flares.

The residents of Bikini Atoll were relocated due to atomic bomb testing.
Coastal Villages that Moved Away
Build a dam, Sam. Set off a bomb, Dom. Block a view, Lou. There are at least 50 ways to move your coastal village, but we've narrowed it down to five.
Written and curated by Amorina Kingdon
April 22, 2015 | 550 words, about 2 minutes
Sometimes it's a mega project like the detonation of an atomic bomb or the construction of a hydroelectric dam; sometimes, you're just blocking a castle's view. These five coastal villages each had a different reason to pick up and move in toto.
Inveraray, Scotland
In 1743, the 3rd Duke of Argyll's project of building a grand new castle—complete with soaring towers, 6.5 hectares of garden, and, at 21 meters, Scotland's highest ceiling—hit a snag. The shabby town of Inveraray was too close, obstructing the grandiose grounds and the view of Loch Fyne. So the duke dealt with this 18th-century version of a First World problem decisively: he commissioned plans to move the town. Luckily, the story ends well for the townspeople. The new Inveraray, relocated just down the shore, had a new pier and better housing. The pier proved especially lucrative, letting Inveraray take part in the growing herring industry.
Yoshihama, Japan
The Japanese know tsunamis. After all, it's their word. Ancient coast dwellers left engraved "tsunami stones" along the shore, some warning future generations of the high point of past deluges. But old warnings lose their impact and, one evening in 1896, a tsunami eight stories high killed more than 20,000 people. Afterward, the residents of Yoshihama, one devastated village, heeded the ancients and moved their village up a nearby hill. The job took decades, but it paid off. In 2011, the massive Tōhoku tsunami struck. Along the coast, more than 18,000 people died, but in Yoshihama only the seawall, the seaside fish market, and a few homes were damaged.
Bikini Atoll, Marshall Islands
In 1946, the United States had invented the biggest atomic bombs in existence and remote Bikini Atoll was a perfect testing ground—except for its 167 residents. Commodore Ben Wyatt, the Marshall Islands' military governor, came to the not-quite-deserted atoll to request that Bikinians temporarily relocate for "the good of mankind and to end all world wars." After much debate they packed their belongings, as well as bits of their church and council house. They suffered lean years on smaller, food-scarce atolls before settling on nearby Kili Island. Almost 70 years on, the move seems permanent. In 2012, the United Nations noted that the Marshall Islands had "near-irreversible … contamination."
Fort George, Canada
Mega projects tend to proceed despite protests from mini villages, and Quebec's multi-billion-dollar James Bay hydroelectric project was no exception. It promised abundant hydroelectricity by diverting several rivers into one—the La Grande. For Fort George, an island community in the La Grande's mouth, rising waters created dangerous ground. The provincial government advised moving, but the residents—primarily the Cree Nation of Chisasibi—had deep roots; generations were buried in the island's cemeteries. Finally, after bitter deliberation, the village consented. It moved to the mainland in 1980 where it was renamed Chisasibi. Villagers still gather on the island each summer for the Mamoweedow Minstuksh festival.
Phirt, Pakistan
River deltas shift as watercourses change. Delta residents know this, but cyclones can shift things too far. In 2010, Cyclone Phet swamped Phirt, a fishing village in Pakistan's Indus Delta. The storm badly eroded the muddy ground and, even after residents rebuilt their homes, the village kept flooding, forcing Phirt's 30 or so households to move a kilometer upstream. It may not be their last move. The sea has swallowed Phirt and more than half of the 42 villages that share its district. Upstream dams keep sediment from replenishing the delta, and, combined with supercharged cyclones packing climate-change-induced punches, chronic erosion is shrinking the Indus.

The phrase image analysis encompasses any technology which involves the processing of captured images. For the purposes of particle characterization the major division is between static image analysis and dynamic image analysis. The distinction is whether particles are presented in a static (stationary) orientation or dynamic, flowing past the detector. Here we discuss dynamic image analysis, also known as digital image processing and the improvements implemented in the CAMSIZER technique of particle size and particle shape analysis.
For more information see the pages introducing the CAMSIZER and CAMSIZER X2 dynamic image analyzers.
The CAMSIZER measuring principle involves the projection of particle silhouettes (shadows) in transmitted light. The classic CAMSIZER presents sample particles to a single light source as the particles freely fall from a feeding chute. The CAMSIZER X2 extends this to include a second light source and multiple presentations (free fall, compressed air dispersion, liquid suspension). In each instrument two cameras record the projected shadows.
The CAMSIZER technique consists of two cameras. The basic camera measures the big particles and ignores the small ones and the zoom camera measures the small particles. The two measuring ranges result in a very high resolution and a wide dynamic measuring range. The patented Dual Camera Capture is unique to the CAMSIZER and CAMSIZER X2 particle size analyzers.
The CAMSIZER detectors (cameras) are very similar to those used in digital cameras. And like a digital camera, the resolution of the image is determined in part by the number and size of the pixels in the detector. A particle detection occurs when at least half of any pixel is covered by the projected shadow. So the detector doesn't actually capture a perfect image of the particle, it captures a reconstruction of the particle using square pixels (see figure below). The lower 30 µm size limit of the classic CAMSIZER is set by the requirement that at least two adjacent pixels are activated. This requirement drastically increases the likelihood that the detection event is, in fact, caused by a particle.
Now that the particle shadow is captured the question becomes: which size(s) should be calculated? For some particle size analysis techniques this is a trivial question because only one particle size may be calculated. Often the equivalent spherical diameter is reported because the spherical assumption simplifies the mathematical model used. By actually capturing an image of the particle the CAMSIZER makes it possible to calculate various lengths, widths, equivalent diameters, etc. Shape metrics including sphericity, aspect ratio, symmetry are also calculated.
These options are available because the CAMSIZER software scans the particle shadow in 64 directions. This approach allows for a more information-rich characterization of irregularly shaped particles -- particles which constitute the majority of applications. Such understanding directly leads to process and product quality improvements. Or, where historical sieve data must be matched, an intelligent correlation can be achieved.
The large field of view provided by the Dual Camera Capture ensures that every particle presented to the detectors is measured. This results in excellent repeatability and reproducibility, even with very small amounts of sample. Operator-to-operator, lab-to-lab, and instrument-to-instrument precision are outstanding because of robust construction and simple operation owing to electronic task files used to control the CAMSIZER. The result is fewer result-matching headaches, decreased labor costs, and lower re-work rates. A typical measurement finishes within three minutes and more than 500,000 particles detected and measured.
Unlike light scattering techniques, image analyzers require regular calibration to ensure correct operation. To guarantee a constant reproducibility of the CAMSIZER results, an electron-lithographic object for calibration is provided. It features an extreme small deviation of only 0.1 µm per particle. Unique to this standard: it features evaporated reference particles which cover the whole measuring range of the CAMSIZER. Calibration takes only a few minutes and is typically carried out once every month.

Q: My menu vanishes when using overflow-x on mobile I have a menu that's within a div that I hide off screen. When the menu-button is pressed I bring the menu in to view. Whilst doing this, I shift the visible content of the body over to one side, allowing room for the menu.
When I originally did this, I placed overflow-x:hidden; in the body and it worked perfectly for desktops. When I loaded the website on to my phone, I noticed that the phone didn't behave the same - it attempt to display the menu and all of the content that was on the screen.
I did a little reading and it stated that mobile browsers ignore overflow-x when placed in the html or body tags and a wrapper div should be created.
When i made this edit my menu vanished. When I click the menu-button, the content moves across for the menu but it doesn't appear.
What is going on here? I don't quite understand why the menu would disappear. How can I fix this?
The wrapper that I made is....

#body_wrapper{
        overflow-x: hidden;
    }

  My nav bar...
  My menu...
  my content...

My website is - http://robingham.co.uk/LUUCC6/index.php
This current edit of the website has the overflow-x:hidden; set in the body of the CSS, not the body_wrapper. So the menu displays but it doesn't properly function on a mobile.

A: So i fixed my issue! Whoop!
Originally i was using .animate() in Jquery for my menu animation. The menu would hide offscreen and using the animate function i would 'slowly'(285px in 0.3s) move the menu in to place on screen. Whilst this worked perfectly fine for desktop browsers where i placed overflow-x: hidden; in to the CSS for the body. Mobile browsers ignore overflow-x: hidden; when placed in the body.
Reading around i saw many times about placing overflow-x: hidden; in to a wrapper for the body content. Ie.  content . Whilst it indeed stop a scroll bar popping up for the x-axis and content being shrunk, it screwed up my menu - my menu just vanished. For whatever reason putting overflow-z: hidden; in to the wrapper didn't agree with the Jquery animate function. I tried placing the menu outside of the wrapper but still no luck. I also tried playing overflow-x: hidden; in to both the wrapper and the body with no success.
Okay so time for a new strategy, as i spent far too long playing with my menu to just scrap it.
My solution
I currently have my menu sat outside of the wrapper and so i've decided to keep overflow-x: hidden; in both the body and the wrapper. Maybe an overkill but at least i know it'll function as intended regardless of the browser. Maybe in the future, i'll have a little faff with putting the menu back within the wrapper and only have the overflow-x: hidden; in the wrapper and see if it still works. (I kind of don't like having many things that do the same/similar job scattered everywhere. It feels a little messy.)
The menu has three associated classes attached to it now. menu, menu_hide, and menu_show. menu has all of my CSS formatting. I use the menu_hideand menu_show classes to hide and show the menu.
My default HTML for the menu looks like this. Note that it has two classes.

My CSS for the hide and show look like this. Note that transition does the same job as the Jquery .animate() function.
.menu_show{
    transition: 0.3s;
    left: 0px;
}

.menu_hide{
    transition: 0.3s;
    left: -285px;
}

My JS looks like this. Note that i toggle between the menu showing and hiding classes everytime i hit the menu button.
$('.icon-menu').click(function() {
     $('.menu').toggleClass( "menu_show menu_hide" );
});

Halloween & The Dawn of the Slasher
by Julianne Ramsey October 18, 2018 October 24, 2018
1 Comment on Halloween & The Dawn of the Slasher
This October, we're challenging ourselves to watch at least one horror movie a day. Today's film needs no introduction.
I envy anyone who managed to see Halloween upon its 1978 release. To do so would have meant seeing a film that spawned endless imitations and set the slasher template before it was known that that was precisely what it had done. Today, it's difficult to look at the film as more than a time capsule piece, easy to admire but harder to find scary. Halloween's story beats feel predictable and clichéd, because it set the structure that slasher films would replicate and build upon, and it's hard to be scared when you're forced to remember the familiar story beats flashing on the screen weren't so well- established in 1978.
But Halloween, with all due respect to Black Christmas, birthed the slasher for a good reason, and it's not just that it established a repeatable formula the Sean Cunningham's of the world lazily ripped off without any of the artistry. Halloween started the slasher because it was so good people wanted to see more movies like it.
From a screenwriting perspective, just think of how efficient and stripped to the core Halloween is. A young boy kills his sister. He's sent to a mental hospital. Years later, he breaks out to inflict more mayhem and carnage on his hometown. Meanwhile, he's pursued by the psychiatrist (Donald Pleasance) who once sought to help him but now simply hopes to end the upcoming bloodshed. And…that's pretty much it.
The film traffics in merciless suspense, with no window dressing to distract from the perpetually escalating tension. We don't even know what caused Michael to commit any of the murders we see. The explanation that he's just an emotionless, brutal, blank slate (right down to that terrifying, white-painted William Shatner mask) only enhances the suspense. This is a silent, unstoppable force that cannot be reasoned with. He's going to destroy you, and there's nothing you can do to stop it.
Even though it set the standard for every slasher to come, Halloween still stands above much of the slasher genre that followed it. Its technical proficiency illustrates how lazy and sloppily put together many of the films that followed. They traffic in mean-spirited, semi-misogynistic violence and shock value. Halloween is sharper and better than that. It's about suspense, not viscera. Much of that comes from John Carpenter's direction.
Carpenter and The Shape on set together.
Take the film's opening, consisting of an unseen individual watching, waiting. Eventually, he dons a mask, walks up the stairs, and murders a nubile, naked young woman. We then see the point of view go back down the stairs into the arms of a middle-aged couple who pull off the mask. Only then does the camera shift to an omniscient point of view, showing us the killer is not a man but a young boy in a clown costume.
Slasher films often utilize the killer's perspective to make a viewer feel as though he/ she is the one committing the crime, but it's rarely been used as brilliantly as it is here. It sets the stage for the type of carnage the film has in store, and then sucker punches with the reveal that the crime we've seen came at the hands of a child. It might be one of the most perfect horror openings ever committed to celluloid.
The middle portion, which serves to establish the Haddonfield, Illinois setting creates a believable, slice (no pun intended) of life environment where teenagers make Halloween plans, fall leaves blow across the sidewalk, and pumpkins are just waiting to be carved. It feels like a believably idyllic little town, which makes the upcoming violence feel all the more horrific because the setting feels so grounded. Once the violence starts, the film becomes an exercise of almost unbearable suspense building punctuated with brief moments of vicious, though bloodless, violence.
Today, Halloween is also known as the film that introduced Jamie Lee Curtis to the world, and it's easy to see why she found an early career as the proverbial "final girl." Laurie Strode is one of the most likable horror heroines. Vulnerable and tomboyish, she exudes warmth and affability that ensures audiences care whether she lives or dies. There's a moment where she has fled Michael and is pounding on neighbors' doors. We watch in dreadful anticipation as porch lights come on and then turn off, leaving her still vulnerable. We're practically on the edge of our seats, nails digging into hands, hoping for a reprieve.
We want her to triumph, which means the film's seemingly endless series of thinking Michael is dead when in fact he's not begins to feel like a Kafkaesque nightmare. Even that ending, indicating Michael is still out there, perhaps waiting to sneak into your front door, means the film sticks with you.
It's impossible to discuss Halloween without shining a spotlight on Donald Pleasance's Doctor Loomis. First, he might be the worst psychiatrist in cinema history, as he abandons providing mental help to his patient, instead hoping to simply lock him away and throw away the key. He also has the most fabulous line delivery, altering between manic yelling and sinister whispering about the nature of pure evil and how his patient had "the devil's eyes." It's a performance that should be ridiculous, but Pleasance instead makes the character almost accidentally compelling. His manic energy and dogged pursuit of an unstoppable killing machine adds an incredibly entertaining b-plot to the film's primary storyline of teenagers and children in peril. He's so gleefully over-the-top that it makes absolute sense that he became as much of a Halloween franchise staple as Michael Myers.
I think it might be pretty clear from this that I love Halloween. I saw it when I was thirteen, and stayed up all night worried Michael was going to jump out of my closet. Even at thirteen, I knew who would live through the film and who was there to rack up a body count. It wasn't my first slasher film, and I recognized how they worked even if I couldn't articulate it. However, it didn't matter. The film's too strong, too well-paced, and beautifully filmed to not fall under its sway. It may not inspire the screams and absolute terror it might have forty years earlier, but it's still worth a watch every Halloween.

The Greenhouse Effect-------------------------------------------- ----------------------------The Earth is kept warm by it's atmosphere, which acts rather like a woolly coat - without it, the average surface temperature would be about -18 degrees Centigrade. Heat from the sun passes through the atmosphere, warming it up, and most of it warms the surface of the planet. As the Earth warms up, it emits heat in the form of infra-red radiation - much like a hot pan emits heat even after it's taken away from the cooker. Some of this heat is trapped by the atmosphere, but the rest escapes into space. The so-called 'greenhouse gases' make the atmosphere trap more of this radiation, so it gradually warms up more than it should, like a greenhouse (although a greenhouse actually does this by stopping warm air rising and escaping from it).What Causes The Greenhouse Effect?------------------------------------------- -----------------------------There are some natural greenhouse gases: water vapour, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, methane and ozone. However, over the past fifty years, production of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane has risen sharply, and a new type of chemical - the chlorofluorocarbon, or CFC - has been introduced as a refrigerant, solvent and aerosol propellant, but it is also a very powerful greenhouse gas, because it can trap a lot of radiation - one molecule of CFC is 12,000 to 16,000 times as effective at absorbing infra-red radiation as a molecule of carbon dixide. This graph shows how much each gas contributes to the greenhouse effect, taking into account how much of it there is and how much radiation it can absorb.

This graph shows how much each gas contributes to the greenhouse effect, taking into account how much of it there is and how much radiation it can absorb. The carbon dioxide comes mainly from burning fossil fuels in power stations, which also causes acid rain. It is also created by living animals breathing, and is naturally converted by plants back to oxygen. However, deforestation is reducing the planet's carbon dioxide absoring capability. Nitrous oxide is a by-product of nylon production, and is also released by fertiliser use in agriculture. The extra methane is produced in coal mining, natural gas production and distribution (natural gas is methane), and waste disposal.
One fifth of all methane generated by human activity comes from microbial decay of organic material in flooded rice fields. The Greenhouse Effect - Possible Solutions----------------------------------------- -------------------------------Reducing use of fossil fuels would considerably reduce the amount of carbon dioxide produced, as well as reducing the levels of the pollutants which cause acid rain. This can be achieved by either using less energy altogether, or using alternative energy sources. You can help save energy in lots of ways: * Turn off lights when you leave a room * If you have a car, don't use it for short journeys * Get your parents to insulate their house properly * Basically, anything at all that uses less energy.
When one starts a car or burns wood, the last thought on their mind is the consequences to these actions. Unfortunately, the daily dangers to earth are not widely know. Due to the constant change of society, this planet must cope with various problems. One of the most important ecological structures is the ozone layer.

One Final Step
Once upon a time, there lived a free-spirited young man who had finally met the woman of his dreams - one he deeply admired and respected. He longed to spend the rest of his life with her, and toward that end he learned all he could about her.
As he got to know her better, he began to take an interest in the things she enjoyed, and she, in turn, learned to like some of the things he loved doing.
Over time his love for this remarkable, principled young woman grew, and, although he was a rather self-centered young man, (and one who greatly valued his independence and free-spirited way of life) he asked her if she would consent to spend the rest of her life with him.
When she threw her arms around him and said, "Yes. I love you. I can't wait to be your wife," his heart begin to pound and sweat beaded his forehead.
"Um…uh…" he stammered. "I didn't exactly mean we would get married. That is to say…I just thought we would, you know, be together…." the words trailed off into the awkward silence.
Needless to say, things didn't work out well for the hapless young man. The very things he loved most about the young woman - her goodness and deeply held convictions - made it impossible. He wanted to be with the woman he said he loved. He simply couldn't take that final step. His fear of commitment and what it might cost, kept him from the very thing that would have brought him the most fulfillment and joy.
So many find themselves in this very situation when it comes to taking that final step into a relationship with the Lord. They are willing to do all the right things. They learn about the Bible, have an interest in spiritual things, live a good life, and respect Jesus, but they cannot take the final step of fully surrendering their lives to Him. They stop just short of stepping into all that the Lord has for them.
Perhaps it's the fear of what it might cost in terms of personal freedom - the things they think they will have to give up for a life committed to loving and serving God. Once again it reminds us of the Upside-down Kingdom of God. The truth is, when you give up your life you gain more than you could possibly have imagined.
Think of all the wonderful things our self-centered young friend sacrificed because he refused to take that final step. When we choose to stop just short of giving our hearts to the Lord, we give up, not only a life of fulfillment, purpose, hope, peace and joy in this lifetime, but eternal life in heaven with Him.
The Lord will never force us to go beyond what we are willing to do. He calls to us to come and waits for us to step into the riches of His love.
As Pastor Doug said, "Many people are content with their 'nearness.' Jesus calls them to take that last step."
"Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me." Revelation 3:20

Many Mastercam users tend to overlook a feature in Mastercam that has been available for many years. It is called "Change At Point" and is available from your right click, within the chain or point selection menu. See this video for a great overview of how this works from a drilling operation.


Sweet-smelling dried Elderflower makes a lovely tea with all sorts of healthy benefits you'll have to look up because I'm not allowed to make medicinal claims for the products I sell. I like it when I'm feeling a little under the weather mixed with Chamomile and Rose Petals. It might also be good with Lemon Balm or combine all of those ingredients together for a relaxing evening blend.
People also use it in cooking and to make cordials and other drinks. Have fun experimenting!
This product is sold by the ounce. Your Elderflower will come in a kraft paper tin tie bag (but with a different kind of label than shown) unless you buy in large quantities. In that case, it will be packaged in a reuseable plastic ziplock bag.

Strips of pH paper are much cheaper and easier to use than a pH meter. They give you a quick way to estimate the pH of a solution without any expensive equipment or pre-calibration. They have limitations, however. Remember, there is a great deal of uncertainty in a measurement when you use these strips.
Sometimes, it is difficult to match the color of the strip with any one of the colors shown on the box. There can be times when the pH paper looks like it is green, but perhaps not quite the same shade as what the box shows. In cases like these, it's difficult to know whether you are reading the pH strip properly. If you're red-green colorblind, of course, pH paper becomes very difficult to use, because you won't be able to tell the difference between these colors.
The colors of a pH strip correspond to pH ranges, not to a specific pH; usually, they read in increments of 0.5. Consequently, when you use pH paper, you can't get an exact number. If you need a definite number for the work you're doing, pH paper won't be very helpful. You can estimate the pH, but you'll have a high uncertainty value; pH meters, by contrast, will give you a more exact figure.
The pH paper is not temperature-compensated, which may introduce inaccuracies, if you're working at very high or low temperatures. A pH of seven, for example, is neutral at room temperature. But, at your body temperature, neutral pH would be about 6.8. (The pH of your blood, by the way, is not actually neutral -- it's slightly alkaline.) The pH paper, however, does not compensate for this change. Not all pH meters do (although some do).
At very high or low pH values, pH paper may not give an accurate reading. If the pH is below 0, for example, your pH paper would not give you an accurate reading, since pH strips are not designed for extreme pH values. In fairness, of course, you'll seldom need to measure solutions of strong, concentrated acid or base; if you have fuming sulfuric acid, you probably already know the pH is going to be very low. Nonetheless, this, too, is a possible source of error to bear in mind.

Q: What are functional differences between tree-like/hierarchical and flat file systems? The only differences I can think of are all aesthetic.
E.g. When you have many files, it will be hard for the user to navigate to the desired file because it wouldn't be organised nicely like in a tree-like file system with directories.
Are there are functional differences?
A tree-like file system would be one where you can create sub-directories whereas a flat-file system is where there are no sub-directories, just one folder with all files inside it.

A: Comparing filesystem structures
We want to compare filesystem structures looking for non-aesthetic differences.
We compare hierarchical filesystems with a tree structure of directories,
with flat filesystems that have only one place that contains all files, similar to a single directory with no subdirectories.
The two main types of differences are in CPU time, and in memory use.
Another type that could be relevant here is the complexity of implementation.
Performance of file access
The performance of listing directories depends on the file count of the directory.
Even in hierarchical filesystems, it can be a problem to list files in a directory to delete them, if they are many.
That all is not relevant for only thousands of files, but for hundredthousands in each of 100 directories, you better not put them all in a flat filesystem, or all in one directory.
The problem is that a directory listing is going through the whole list - because no tree is used inside the directory.
To find a file, about half of the file names must be read, on average.
For 1000000 files in a flat filesystem, that means we need to read 500000 names.
In a tree structure, we could use two levels of the tree by splitting the files into 1000 directories, with 1000 files each. To find one, we need to read 500 names on average on each level, 1000 in total.
We could als use three levels with 100 entries. We'd need to read 150 names on average.
With this example calculation, it's plausible that a tree structure can easily be much faster than the flat filesystem, like 2000 times as fast.
Multiple uses
Part of the tree in a hierarchical filesystem can be used for some separate purpose, while not using the rest for that purpose:
For example, you can mount another filesystem - flat or not - into a subdirectory of a hierarchical filesystem.
Mounting into the flat filesystem makes as little sense as mounting into the root of a hierarchical filesystem.
Permissions
A tree-structured filesystem has subsections - the subdirectories - which you could assign permissions.
In a flat filesystem you can not make someone see only part of the file names.
To change permissions in a flat filesystem, for part of the files, is not possible all at once - it needs changes on each individual files permissions, and may take seconds or minutes while the permissions are unclear and changing.
Small and simple
Flat file systems can have advantages in ressource limited environments - in embedded systems.
A flat file system implementation can be very simple. And as long as the count of files to handle is small, it can even be faster than a hierachical filesystem!
A hardware device may need to store a list of files, each labeled with a number, and never more than 1000 at once.  For this task, using a flat filesystem makes sense if it allows to use a smaller processor, resulting in longer battery life.
The simplicity of a flat filesystem can also be helpful to make sure the filesystem does not have bugs in the implementation.

Nasty Baby DVD release date was set for December 22, 2015.
Gay couple Freddy and Mo want to have a baby with their best friend, Polly. However, the members of their Brooklyn community combine to make their lives miserable as they attempt to create an unconventional family. A local menace called "The Bishop" regularly insults Freddy, Mo and Polly and then begins to threaten them with violence. Meanwhile, more supportive neighbors harass them with nosy questions about their lifestyle. Despite the trio's collective love for each other, their family plan takes a dark and traumatic turn.


Handcrafted from locally sourced Napa wine barrel rings materials in the heart of California wine country, our exquisite lighting collection will showcase your home or business with a rustic elegance unique to California wine culture. Available in a wide variety of designs and customizable options, our extensive yet singular collection is sure to be the most functional piece of art you own! The ATOM "Pesini" is a half dome wall light made from hand bent, recycled wine barrel rings. This matches one of our most popular pieces, the Atom Cyclopean chandelier. Modern and chic yet wonderfully rustic. Completely made from retired Napa wine barrel rings and recycled materials, each one is handmade to order! I've always been captivated by the character of these retired wine barrel rings; at quick glance, they're all pretty similar, but when you look closely you start to see just how diverse they are, and how much they've been affected by their life holding a barrel together. Our team of talented artists decided to make a light that celebrates this variety of texture and dimension. Its perfect for bathrooms, hallways, heck we even put some on large boats. SOCKET: regular socket is 100W max, takes regular or LED bulbs and is fully dimmable. INCLUDES: fixture plus all mounting hardware. DIMENSIONS: APPROX 8" TALL X 8" WIDE X 6" DEEP MATERIAL: Retired Napa wine barrel rings, recycled steel. BULBS: LED or standard bulbs. Fully dimmable. BULBS NOT INCLUDED. All our products are carefully handmade using recycled materials. They are individually handcrafted, one-of-a kind creations, and not factory manufactured. It is therefore quite difficult to make identical items, as the materials we use are very diverse in galvanized steel color, patina or rust level. Our attentive artisans make every effort to create only the best from materials with natural variations that should not be misconstrued as flaws. These make each piece of a handmade product charming and unique. The pictures may not be identical to the product you receive. It's probably even more awesome! *All lighting products made by Wine Country Craftsman are of the highest quality and made with UL Listed parts from licensed electrical suppliers, however the light fixtures themselves are not UL Approved.


"Validation of Worst-Case and Statistical Models for an Automotive EMC " by Daryl G. Beetner, Haixiao Weng et al.
Previous papers have presented algorithms for an EMC expert system used to predict potential electromagnetic compatibility problems in a vehicle early in the design process. Here, the accuracy of inductive and capacitive coupling algorithms are verified through representative measurements of crosstalk within an automobile. Worst-case estimates used by the algorithms are compared to measured values and are compared to values estimated using statistical methods. The worst-case algorithms performed well up to 10-20 MHz, but overestimated measured results by several dB in some cases and up to 10-15 dB in others. An approximate statistical variation of the current expert system algorithms also worked well and can help avoid overestimation of problems; however, worst-case estimates better ensure that problems will not be missed, especially in the absence of complete system information.

Q: Slick and Play Evolution: Creating a SERIAL or Sequence after changing default start value I have a table which uses O.AutoInc as ID generator, which is a primary key.
Sample Code:
case class User(id:Long)
class UsersTable(tag: Tag) extends Table[User](tag,"USERS"){
   def id = column[Long]("ID", O.PrimaryKey, O.AutoInc)
   def * = (id) <> (User.tupled, User.unapply)
}

This creates a table with SERIAL field and a sequence with start value 1. Is there a way to change this start value?
Another option is to create sequence like:
Sequence[Long]("USERS_ID_seq") start 200000 inc 1

and use it something like:
def id = column[Long]("ID", O.PrimaryKey, O.DBType("nextval('USERS_ID_seq')"))

I am not sure whether it will work as I cant find a way to make play use this sequence.
So is there a way to tell play evolution to use this sequence?

There are basically three major types of roulette games, and each of them is different from others. That is the reason players use various strategies for each of the games.
This is done to assure that the correct strategy is adopted to win the game of roulette. So, let us see how to have a clean sweep over the game of roulette.
Firstly, it is seen and followed that the outside bets are not at all effective. It is because the bets are placed on a random basis.
If you keep on selecting and go on betting the red or black, there is a chance that you can never reach the accurate and as a result, the prediction that is given to you can never be achieved.
Betting on 1 to 18 and 19 to 36 is same as the higher and lower ends are very much same as the bets placed on the dozens of 1 to 12, 13 to 24, and 25 to 36.
At this juncture, you can implement the strategy of the street bets. There are exceptional cases where a specific combination of the varied bets which is best on the segments of the wheel and this is considered as the best way to win the game and rounds of roulette.
A gambler who is playing the game and have not much experience might as well think that they can win the game twice if there are two grooves. But this not correct.
The misconception is because the American wheel has both the grooves of a single and the zero grooves. It is advised that the game should be played on a single 0 groove in the European roulette wheel which has only one green groove.
Please note, that the table of roulette is same along with the added double zero grooves. Here the payout after the game is very much same.
It is seen that many players believe that roulette system is just very like that of the various roulette strategies. However, one should know that the two are poles apart.
An effectual roulette strategy depends on how you will be making the maximum profit without being noticed.
It also depends on the strategy to win rapidly or playing slowly and winning. These are the best possible online casino roulette strategy .
The online casino roulette also includes the strategy playing with manifold accounts. The advantage of playing with the manifold is that you can close the account after you gain the maximum number of times.
However also note that the online casino allows one player at a time. It is seen that bidders play logging on to other persons' account and they share the money at the end of winning the game. Many a time people create fake account and bid. Though this is not ethical.
This online casino roulette strategy is somewhat a very self-seeking strategy which includes some profitable wins for only one player and this not very much useful for multiple players who can bounce off the wheel.
This strategy includes the step where you are required to make out and predict when and which is the most profitable time to place the highest bid.
It is also seen, that the many bidders earn handsome amount but since the casino keeps an eye on the amount earned by you and puts a check so that it becomes difficult for you to earn and win more.
This must be noted that the policy or strategy which is taken by the casino is not a valid one and it so happen they slow down the games and this hampers the procedure of winning maximum.
Always make sure that you use the bonuses, that you win, and this becomes the vital strategy of winning in online casino roulette.
Choose the welcome bonuses and play with other bonuses also. It is better to start the game with the bonuses which give you the most favorable chance to get maximum benefit to winning in the game of roulette.
Make sure you start playing the game with the best online casinos. It is because they update you with the percentage of the payouts.
Otherwise, the casinos do not take the initiative to let you win the game if you start asking about the payout from them. You should check out the information and the reviews of the previous player which give you a clear idea how the casino operates.
The players make the very common mistake of thinking that the previous results will be like the rounds that they are playing now.
However, it is not necessary that the ball drops at the desired pocket which happened in the earlier games. The Random Number Generator is the process, that is applied which decides the placement of the ball in the various pockets.
One should always place or split the bet in two different segments and just put half the amount in the red pockets.
It is because there are 8 red grooves between the numbers of 3 and 36. Here you will note that there are only 4 black grooves.
So the best online casino roulette strategy is to place the 1 chip on the red groove and placing two chips between 1 to 34 a placing the next two chips between 2 to 35. This is the effective way to divide the numbers of chips among the numbers of the wheel.
Playing online roulette is almost a continuous process, and it is best if you keep playing after you win or lose. Make sure you are clear about collecting the sum that you have won.
If you want to bet, double the initial money that you have deposited. This is the time that you should withdraw at least half the money that you have won.

Game of Thrones Recap: Bloodyface
I have waited for so long to make an American Horror Story reference in one of my Game of Thrones recap titles, and I'm simultaneously thrilled and horrified that today is that day. Anyway, the fourth season of this show seems to be doing away with its previous formula: setup, setup, more setup, Episode 9 is crazy, Episode 10 is a whole barrel of setup, with usually one action-packed sequence stuck randomly in an early-season episode. This is SO not the case anymore. Episode 8 packed a whole lot of wallops, to the point where Episode 9's preview actually seemed lackluster! Let's talk about what went down.
Let's get some of the housekeeping stuff out of the way. Ramsay, as promised, sends Theon to take Moat Cailin, which he apparently does, which means Ramsay is legitimized as a Bolton and no longer has to suffer the indignity of being a bastard. (I have trouble believing that a psychopath like Ramsay would actually give much of a shit about "being a real Bolton" – he seems like somebody who would wear the bastard name as a badge of honor – but whatever, it happens in the books.) The Wildlings are taking Castle Black from behind, starting with Mole's Town, but Ygritte takes pity on poor Gilly and puts a finger to her lips before vanishing, leaving the audience with a perfect shot – complete with sound – of blood dripping from the ceiling. (Sam thinks she's dead, because Sam cries first and acts later.)
Khaleesi's camp gets a fair amount of action this week too – Missandei and Grey Worm seem to be striking up a little bit of a romance, which is totally weird, cause Grey Worm is most definitely a eunuch. Even though this B-plot love story is completely shoehorned in, it eventually won me over, mostly because it's nice to give a little more humanity to Daenery's ethnic sidekicks. (It doesn't hurt that the actors sold the scene nicely either.) The warm and gooey feelings didn't last long, though. This was the episode where Daenerys, after all this time, eventually finds out that Jorah has been spying on her for Varys since he became her khalasar. In reality, he hasn't been spying since he received the royal pardon back in season 1, and he did totally save her from poisoned wine about five seconds after he got that pardon in the first place (if you're having trouble remembering what happened, he basically got banished by Ned Stark instead of getting executed, and agreed to spy on "the Targaryen girl" for the Lannisters, but was pretty much done with that job when she rose from the fire flanked by three baby dragons, because you always pick the person with the dragons). Sorry, Jorah, but you don't even get to hang out in the friendzone anymore – or anywhere at all near Khaleesi, actually. She banishes him too, so now we'll have more Sad Jorah to deal with. Fantastic.
The Stark girls are also struggling with new feelings and situations – some better than others – and like Daenerys did when she decided to rule, one Stark girl is coming into her own under the skeeviest possible circumstances. Let's talk briefly about Arya first, who finally arrives at the Bloody Gate with the Hound, seemingly hours away from reuniting with her older sister, only to be told that her Aunt Lysa died a few days ago (and obviously, the guards have no idea that Alayne is Sansa). Arya just does what she can, which is laugh hysterically while everyone stares at her. Yeah, it's a weird reaction, but this poor kid has been through the wringer, especially with the whole "I'm so close to reuniting with my family oh look they're dead" thing has happened to her TWICE now, so I almost kind of get it. Jesus. First we have Arya with her mother and brother, then Bran and Jon, and now Arya and Sansa – this whole close encounters of a Stark kind thing is going to give me a stroke.
Sansa, on the other hand, is brought in to a council meeting at the Eyrie to decide if the clearly evil Littlefinger is actually evil (OH MY GOD JUST LOOK AT HIS CREEPY FACE THE ANSWER IS YES HE'S EVIL), since she is the only witness to Lysa's great fall. Once she reveals herself as Lysa's niece, the missing Sansa Stark and former Lannister captive, you start to feel like she might rat out Petyr for killing just about everyone who's ever died on this show (I'm gonna go ahead and blame them all on him since Jon Arryn's death was directly his fault which kickstarted, I don't know, literally every other murder), but Sansa clearly has a few strains of Stockholm syndrome. With a perfectly orchestrated single tear, Sansa tells the council that every lie Littlefinger has told has been to save her, and that her Aunt Lysa was just a nutjob who flung herself out the Moon Door for no reason. It's a masterful play, and it firmly convinces the council, who start talking about how crazy Lysa was this whole time the second they leave the judging room. Sansa might not be in the best position, but she knows she can play Littlefinger as much as she can, and he shows up in her room later to have a terrifyingly flirty exchange wherein she tells him "she knows what he wants." (Yeah. We all do. Please don't show us that. I'm still recovering from Lysa's sex symphony.) Later, when she greets Robin and Littlefinger in her best Maleficent costume – which does look spectacular on her – there's a newfound, womanly confidence in her, which I suspect has less to do with Littlefinger's devotion and more to do with the power she's just discovered and how she plans to use it.
Those things were all fun, but let's get to the real meat of this episode – what everybody wants to talk about. The Trial of the Century came to a close with combat, and Oberyn Martell fell hard, taking poor Tyrion along with him (well, that's the plan). And he was doing so well! Oberyn came into the fight literally swinging, poisoned spear by his side, and danced around the waddling Mountain so dizzyingly that it seemed like he might be able to topple the giant. When he got in a few choice cuts, it seemed inevitable, and when he found his moment and went for the gut, it seemed over. But hubris has been the downfall of many a man, and while Oberyn gloated and demanded a confession, the Mountain summoned the last of his strength and hurled himself on top of the apparent victor. The teeth went first, and the eyes went last, while Ellaria wailed and Tyrion simply looked on in abject horror. (Tywin and Cersei, obviously, looked as though they had each swallowed about a thousand canaries.) There have been so many fights and so many gruesome moments on this show, but for my money, this tops the list – worse than Viserys' crown, worse than Ned's beheading, maybe (although it could be tied) worse than stabbing Talisa in the stomach during the Red Wedding. I mean… Oberyn's HEAD FUCKING EXPLODED. After his eyes were… I don't know what the right word is. Smushed? Muddled? Popped? Ew. Ugh.
Game of Thrones has always been a show that knows how to use violence to its advantage, and though there have certainly been scenes that seemed absolutely gratuitous (Ramsay hunting women earlier this season comes to mind), this one was both quick and slow, which made it incredibly tense. Oberyn was dead in a matter of seconds, but the camera made sure to linger as the Mountain finally confessed that he definitely did rape and kill Oberyn's sister while he poked out Oberyn's goddamn eyes. Pedro Pascal, when he wasn't either a fight double or a dummy with an exploded head, gave a brilliant final performance in this scene, finishing an excellent run of fleshing out a fairly unremarkable character in the books (Natalie Dormer as Margaery is still definitely winning that race, though). It's sad to see him go, but even sadder to watch how justice is served in Westeros. A man who held onto a lifelong desire for revenge is taken down by the same man who destroyed his family, which leaves an innocent fugitive to be sentenced to death by his own father. So much for a fair trial – although I think we all knew, all along, things don't work out particularly well for Tyrion. As soon as Oberyn volunteered to be Tyrion's champion, by George R.R. Martin standards, he signed his own death certificate.
All in all, this was a spectacularly shot episode with great pacing and shock value mixed with heavy storytelling – and it's looking like next week may focus exclusively on the battle between the Wildlings and the Night's Watch, meaning we may have to wait until the June 15 finale to find out Tyrion's fate. (If next week is definitely just the Wildling-Crow war, it'll also be shot mostly in the fucking dark, so… great.) For those who have read the books, you know that there's a lot more that needs to happen unless A Storm of Swords is going to stretch into season 5 (which I sincerely hope it doesn't), so the formula for Episode 10 may change to accomodate the dropping of just a few more bombshells. See you back here next week, where we can at least look forward to "You know nothing, Jon Snow" making a triumphant comeback. It's really been too long.

Since the final moments of last week's episode, I've been eagerly awaiting Episode 4 of Goblin Slayer. It's no secret I've found the daily life and world building of the last two episodes slightly tedious. So, I'm glad we're moving away from monologues and campfire chats and jumping back into what Goblin Slayer does best – slaying some darn goblins! Please note that while this episode did feature quite a bit of violence and gore, it was not nearly as graphic nor as horrifying as episode one.
Moving past the two goblin sentries, our Goblin Slaying Squad (GSS) moves deeper into the ruins. There's quite a bit of tension between our adorable High Elf Archer and Goblin Slayer as Archer struggles to process how horrible the goblins are. Goblin Slayer steps on a few toes by suggesting she should return to the entrance if she can't handle it. The episode ends with one of my favorite fight scenes of the series (so far), as the GSS shows viewers the real meaning of teamwork.
Scrolls: Last week's episode had some subtle foreshadowing about Goblin Slayer's scrolls and I'm glad we got to see them in action so soon. While Goblin Slayer didn't use the scroll as its intended purpose, it just goes to show how creative and innovative he is when it comes to killing goblins.
Perceptions of Goblin Slayer: In this episode we saw yet another unusual way that others perceive our hero. Priestess and the High Elf Archer were so quick to assume he would kill the female elf they saved, to which he replied, 'I'm only here to kill goblin'. This makes me question how cold-hearted others view Goblin Slayer to be.
The Struggles of an Elf: While our sweet Elf may be 1200 years old, it seems that she has been quite sheltered from the horrors of the world. Viewers can see how much she struggles to get through the goblin nest, from seeing their treatment of another elf woman to killing them. But it was also inspiring to see how the rest of the group rallied around her and gave her the motivation to continue on.
Goblins vs. Dwarves: Dwarf Shaman comforts High Elf Archer by telling her that dwarves have a strong hatred towards goblins but he doesn't expand much more than that. Again, this is not a new relationship dynamic depicted in fantasy. For example, in Lord of the Rings, goblins had taken over a dwarf stronghold (the mines of Moria), and in The Hobbit trilogy, the Goblin King seemed to take great pleasure in capturing Thorin's company of dwarves. It seems these two cave dwelling creatures just can't get along!
He's no Shrek!: The depictions of the Ogre in Goblin Slayer seem to align more closely with Japanese mythology (where they are called Oni). Oni are usually depicted with red or blue skin with long hair and sometimes beards, their teeth are tusk-like, and they have large horns.
Post-Credit Scene: Stick around after the credits to see a small clip of Cow Girl.
This week's episode showed the second half of Chapter 5, as well as all of Chapters 6 to 9 of the manga. While this may seem like a big chunk of content, quite a bit of it was fight scenes and moving through the dungeon which was streamlined in the anime. This episode is pretty much what I've been waiting for with this series; a balance of some action, character development, and backstory. We learn bits and pieces on various character's cultures and how this informs their perceptions of the goblins and Goblin Slayer's work.
As I mentioned above, High Elf Archer was a particularly interesting character in this episode. While she's okay to use her bow and arrow to wreak havoc, when it comes to using her hands and getting down and dirty she gets quite disgusted and upset. It'll be interesting to see if this contrast is explored in later episodes or if she just learns to put up with it, like Priestess has. I'm also keen to know the full backstory of why dwarves hate goblins; is there something there besides the obvious?
This week's episode gave us a lot to muse over. From hints to the demon king's army to side character development, I'm really excited to see where the next eight episodes will take us. But, based on the title of next week's episode, it seems we'll be jumping back into Goblin Slayer's everyday life. It's difficult to convey sarcasm in text, so imagine me rolling my eyes as I type, 'how exciting, I can't wait!'.

Q: How to group a json by a nested key using Python? Lets say we have a json object in Python:
myJson = [
    {
        "id": "123",
        "name": "alex",
        "meta": {
                    "city": "boston"
        }
    },
    {
        "id": "234",
        "name": "mike",
        "meta": {
                    "city": "seattle"
        }
    },
    {
        "id": "345",
        "name": "jess",
        "meta": {
                    "city": "boston"
        }
    }
]

What is the most efficient way to group this data by city, so that we end up with a json in which we group the data by city such that we end up with a json as:
myNewJson = [
    {
     "city": "boston",
     "people": [ ... ... ]
    },
    {
     "city": "seattle",
     "people": [ ... ]
    }
]

... in which the content of the people are included in "people" key.
Thanks!

A: Seems like a dictionary could work. Use city names as the keys, and a list as the value. Then at the end, go through the dictionary and convert it to a list.
myJson = [
    {
        "id": "123",
        "name": "alex",
        "meta": {
                    "city": "boston"
        }
    },
    {
        "id": "234",
        "name": "mike",
        "meta": {
                    "city": "seattle"
        }
    },
    {
        "id": "345",
        "name": "jess",
        "meta": {
                    "city": "boston"
        }
    }
]

d = dict() # dictionary of {city: list of people}
for e in myJson:
  city = e['meta']['city']
  if city not in d:
    d[city] = list()
  d[city].append(e['name'])

# convert dictionary to list of json
result = list()
for key, val in d.items():
  result.append({'city': key, 'people': val})

print(result)

A: Try:
myJson = [
    {"id": "123", "name": "alex", "meta": {"city": "boston"}},
    {"id": "234", "name": "mike", "meta": {"city": "seattle"}},
    {"id": "345", "name": "jess", "meta": {"city": "boston"}},
]

out = {}
for d in myJson:
    out.setdefault(d["meta"]["city"], []).append(d["name"])

out = [{"city": k, "people": v} for k, v in out.items()]
print(out)

Prints:
[
    {"city": "boston", "people": ["alex", "jess"]},
    {"city": "seattle", "people": ["mike"]},
]

Hoping to beat back inflation, Fed prepares to raise interest rates in March
George H.W. Bush leaves hospital, days after breaking a bone in his neck
Former President George H.W. Bush at a Texas event in November.
(Bob Daemmrich / Texas Tribune)
By Lauren Raab
July 19, 2015 3:35 PM PT
Former President George H.W. Bush left a Maine hospital Sunday four days after he fell at his Kennebunkport home and broke a bone in his neck, his spokesman announced.
Bush, who at 91 is the nation's oldest living president, fractured his C2 vertebra Wednesday and was treated for four days at Maine Medical Center in Portland, according to his spokesman, Jim McGrath. The fractured bone is near the base of the skull.
On Sunday, Bush returned to his home in Kennebunkport wearing a hard neck brace, McGrath said.
Bush "continues to have normal use of his limbs," and his injury "neither impinged on his spine nor resulted in any neurological deficit," McGrath said in a statement last week that was reiterated by Bush's physician, Dr. William D'Angelo.
D'Angelo told reporters Thursday that he planned to let the bone heal without surgery and that he was hopeful Bush would make a full recovery.
Bush is the father of former President George W. Bush and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who is seeking the 2016 presidential nomination. Earlier this month, he and his wife, Barbara, hosted an event for top donors to Jeb Bush's presidential campaign.
Several years ago, the elder Bush was diagnosed with vascular Parkinsonism, which causes symptoms similar to Parkinson's disease.
This was at least the third time he has been hospitalized in recent years.
In December, he stayed in a Houston hospital for nearly a week after experiencing shortness of breath.
In November 2012, Bush went to a Houston hospital with a persistent cough. He developed a fever and stayed for nearly two months.
