New documents reveal that Richard Nixon's 1968 campaign colluded with a foreign government far more than historians thought.
Shane O'Sullivan is a documentary filmmaker, senior lecturer in filmmaking at Kingston University, London and author of the new book, "Dirty Tricks: Nixon, Watergate and the CIA."
The delayed sentencing of former national security adviser Michael Flynn — for lying to investigators about "sensitive matters" discussed with the Russian ambassador to the United States during the Trump presidential transition — leaves unanswered questions about alleged collusion between Flynn and the Russians during the 2016 campaign.
It also evokes parallels with another former national security adviser, Richard Allen. Allen played a leading role in the Anna Chennault affair, a secret plan formed by Richard Nixon's campaign to collude with the South Vietnamese government during the 1968 presidential campaign and sabotage Vietnam peace talks in Paris to ensure a Nixon victory.
The Chinese-born widow of a U.S. Air Force general, Chennault was the Nixon campaign's conduit to the government in Saigon during the 1968 campaign through her friendship with Bui Diem, the South Vietnamese ambassador in Washington and Saigon's representative at the peace talks.
Newly discovered documents show that, as foreign-policy coordinator to the Nixon campaign, Allen was deeply involved with Chennault's election interference and secret meetings with the South Vietnamese ambassador, which began five months earlier than historians previously thought. President Lyndon B. Johnson discovered Nixon's double-dealing in the final days of the campaign, but he didn't go public with what he knew, and the Chennault affair was never officially investigated. Allen denied any involvement, and although Nixon chose Henry Kissinger as national security adviser, Allen later assumed the role in the Reagan White House.
Though most historians trace the beginning of the Nixon campaign's collusion with the South Vietnamese to a secret meeting with Bui Diem in July 1968, previously unpublished calendar entries from Chennault's personal papers show an earlier meeting, in February that year, just two weeks after Nixon announced his candidacy in New Hampshire. This previously undiscovered meeting means the collusion, involving senior political and foreign-policy staffers, was part of the campaign from the start, transforming our understanding of the Chennault affair and its role in Nixon's victory.
Mitchell was Nixon's campaign manager, and the entries note that foreign-policy adviser Allen was also there, along with Nixon's longtime secretary Rose Mary Woods and close friend Robert Hill, a former ambassador to Mexico. Woods and Mitchell were Chennault's neighbors in the new Watergate East apartment complex in Washington.
On June 1, Allen officially joined the Nixon campaign as foreign-policy coordinator, where he was the point person for contact with Chennault. Three weeks later, Chennault wrote to Nixon, suggesting he meet her "close friend" Bui Diem. Four days later, she wrote again, offering to arrange a meeting with South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Thieu on a forthcoming visit to Washington.
In 1975, Allen told Nixon speechwriter William Safire that "he thought about it a lot but decided a meeting would be a mistake." In the aftermath of Watergate, Allen's denial was perhaps understandable, but Chennault and Diem's memoirs from the 1980s confirmed that the meeting did take place.
From then on, Chennault grew closer to Mitchell. "At the height of the campaign, I was on the phone with Mitchell at least once a day," she later wrote, "much of the conversation consisting of messages I had been asked to relay to him by various people both within and outside the campaign." She told author Anthony Summers that "in the weeks that followed … Nixon and Mitchell …told her to inform Saigon that were Nixon to become president, South Vietnam would get 'a better deal.' …They worked out this deal to win the campaign," she said.
Nixon's July meeting with Chennault, Diem and Mitchell evokes parallels with the infamous Trump Tower meeting of June 2016, at which Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, Donald Trump Jr. and Trump campaign chief Paul Manafort met a Russian delegation.
Chennault's contact with senior figures in the Nixon campaign continued right up until the election. While researching my book, I recently discovered a tantalizing note on Chennault, handwritten on Allen's campaign stationery and dated "Saturday — early a.m. before election" — meaning Saturday morning, Nov. 2, 1968, three days before the election.
Allen's handwritten notes indicate that Chennault had been frantically trying to contact Mitchell through his assistant and Ambassador Hill in New Hampshire since Thursday morning. It was now the Saturday morning before the election, and she was trying to get Allen to help. Within hours, "her boss" (probably Mitchell) would give her the message for Diem. Allen's notes appear to be the missing link between Chennault's efforts to contact Mitchell and her infamous message to Diem. They suggest that Allen helped put her in touch with Mitchell, who gave her the message for the South Vietnamese.
Allen has consistently distorted the historical record to minimize his role in the Chennault affair, insisting that Chennault was given no encouragement. But recent disclosures in the notes of H.R. Haldeman and now in the personal papers of Allen, Chennault and Hill, confirm that the Nixon campaign was actively supporting Chennault's efforts and that she was in close contact with Allen, Hill and Mitchell throughout the campaign.
In the final eight days of the 1968 campaign, thanks to Vietnamese cables intercepted by the NSA and loose talk on Wall Street, Johnson discovered what Nixon was up to and ordered the wiretap on the South Vietnamese Embassy and FBI physical surveillance of Chennault. But Johnson and his Cabinet ultimately decided they couldn't inject intelligence from classified sources into an election campaign. Allen, Hill and Mitchell were never questioned about the Chennault affair, and historians had to wait until "the 'X' envelope" containing Johnson's file on Chennault was unsealed in 1994 to learn what Johnson knew at the time.
Johnson national security adviser Walt Rostow deposited the sealed file on Chennault at the LBJ Library at the height of the Senate Watergate hearings in 1973. In a covering note, Rostow concluded that the key link between the Chennault affair and Watergate was that in 1968, "they got away with it. Despite considerable press commentary after the election, the matter was never investigated fully," emboldening the Nixon campaign to approve ever more ambitious schemes in 1972, which would lead to Nixon's resignation.
In a pre-sentencing memorandum, special counsel Robert S. Mueller III described Michael Flynn's assistance during 19 interviews with Justice Department attorneys as "substantial." We still don't know what this will tell us about the Trump campaign's possible coordination with the Russian government during the 2016 election, but truth will arrive quicker than the painstaking archival research of the Chennault affair, which 50 years later is still revealing its secrets.
By exposing wrongdoing in 2016, the Mueller investigation can help prevent a repeat in 2020. Nixon was caught in 1968, but as it was not made public, he did not learn his lesson and paid the price with resignation six years later, after winning reelection in 1972.

The University of Nottingham Tuition Fees
The tuition fees for full-time UK and other EU students beginning their undergraduate studies at English universities in 2012 was announced.
The average fee across all universities was £8,393 as compared to that for 2011 entry of £3,375.
To offset this increase in fee levels, there was additional financial support for students from lower income families and other groups not well represented in higher education. This will be in the form of fee waivers, grants, bursaries and scholarships, and accommodation discounts. It is a comprehensive package of income and expenditure but most of the media coverage has concentrated on the cost and not enough on the benefits and help.
Students residents in Wales received a non-repayable Fee Grant equal to the fee amount above £3,465, no matter where in the UK they studied.
Minimum fee £9000 Average fee £9000
Maximum fee £9000 Average cost to student* £8053
* The estimated average cost per student after allowing for financial support (eg. fee waivers and bursaries) from the institution.

title: "GHC's Specializer: Much More Than You Wanted to Know"
date: 2019-05-18 21:59
comments: true
tags: ghc, haskell, polysemy, optimization
---

In the course of [tracking down why free monads were so slow][slow], I fell into
a deep labyrinth of scary GHC internals. Six weeks later, I emerged,
significantly more knowledgeable, and having implemented some changes in the
compiler that will allow [`polysemy`][polysemy] to be optimized much better. The
improvements will be available in 8.10.1.

[slow]: /blog/freer-yet-too-costly/
[polysemy]: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/polysemy

All of this seems like a good opportunity to share what I've learned, so today
let's talk about GHC's *specialization pass.* This optimization is more
popularly known as "the reason why `mtl` is so fast."

At a high level, the specialization pass is responsible for optimizing away uses
of ad-hoc polymorphism (typeclasses) in Haskell source code. When `-fspecialise`
is enabled, GHC will make a monomorphic copy of every polymorphic method --- one
for every unique type it's called with. The result should feel similar to anyone
who's written modern C++, as it's completely analogous to how templates work.

While polymorphic functions are great for *humans to write*, they're
significantly slower for *machines to execute,* since you need to pass around
vtables and perform dynamic dispatches, and all sorts of crazy things. This is
exactly the purpose of GHC's specialization pass, to simply get rid of all of
that machinery and keep only the pieces that are explicitly used.

Let's take an example. Consider the following program:

```haskell
{-# LANGUAGE FlexibleContexts #-}
{-# OPTIONS_GHC
      -ddump-simpl
      -dsuppress-idinfo
      -dsuppress-coercions
      -dsuppress-module-prefixes
      -fforce-recomp
      #-}

import           Control.Monad.State.Class
import qualified Control.Monad.Trans.State as S

countdown :: S.StateT Int IO ()
countdown = do
  v <- get
  case v of
    0 -> pure ()
    _ -> do
      put $ v - 1
      countdown

main :: IO ()
main = S.evalStateT countdown 10
```

When compiled via `ghc Example.hs -O -fno-specialise`[^1], we can
look directly at the resulting Core of this program. If you're unfamiliar with
Core, it's GHC's intermediate language between source-level Haskell and the
generated machine code. Core differs in two notable ways from source Haskell:
its evaluation is explicit via `case` expressions, and both types and typeclass
instances are explicitly passed around.

[^1]: The meaning of the flags is --- `-O`: enable optimizations; `-fno-specialise`: disable the specialization pass.

Anyway, here's the relevant Core for our above program:

```haskell
Rec {
-- RHS size: {terms: 14, types: 13, coercions: 0, joins: 0/0}
$wcountdown
  :: Int# -> State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, ((), Int) #)
$wcountdown
  = \ (ww_s49L :: Int#) (w_s49I :: State# RealWorld) ->
      case ww_s49L of ds_X2I1 {
        __DEFAULT -> $wcountdown (-# ds_X2I1 1#) w_s49I;
        0# -> (# w_s49I, lvl1_r4ap #)
      }
end Rec }

-- RHS size: {terms: 12, types: 29, coercions: 0, joins: 0/0}
main1 :: State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, () #)
main1
  = \ (s_a2Ks :: State# RealWorld) ->
      case $wcountdown 10# s_a2Ks of { (# ipv_a2Kv, ipv1_a2Kw #) ->
      (# ipv_a2Kv,
         case ipv1_a2Kw of { (a1_a2I6, ds2_a2I7) -> a1_a2I6 } #)
      }
```

As you can see, this is very short and to the point. Reading Core is a bit of an
art, but the gist of it is this: `main1` calls `$wcountdown`, which recursively
calls itself, until the value of `w_s49I` is `0#` when it stops. It's probably
exactly the same code you'd write by hand, if for some reason you were writing
Core by hand.

Our program above is written directly against `transformers`, but nobody
actually writes code against `transformers` in the real world. Choosing a
concrete monad transformer stack is limiting, and at the same time, prevents you
from restricting access to pieces of the stack. Instead, we're encouraged to
write code against abstract monad capabilities, traditionally `mtl`.

So let's subtly change the type of `countdown` above:

```haskell
countdown :: MonadState Int m => m ()
```

Nothing else in the program needs to change. Let's now compile this program
again via `ghc Example.hs -O -fno-specialise`. The result is
*horrendously* worse Core:

```haskell
Rec {
-- RHS size: {terms: 35, types: 47, coercions: 0, joins: 0/2}
$wcountdown
  :: forall (m :: * -> *).
     Applicative m =>
     (forall a b. m a -> (a -> m b) -> m b)
     -> (forall a b. m a -> m b -> m b)
     -> m Int
     -> (Int -> m ())
     -> m ()
$wcountdown
  = \ (@ (m_s4WK :: * -> *))
      (ww_s4WR :: Applicative m_s4WK)
      (ww1_s4WS :: forall a b. m_s4WK a -> (a -> m_s4WK b) -> m_s4WK b)
      (ww2_s4WT :: forall a b. m_s4WK a -> m_s4WK b -> m_s4WK b)
      (ww3_s4WX :: m_s4WK Int)
      (ww4_s4WY :: Int -> m_s4WK ()) ->
      let {
        lvl6_s4W1 :: m_s4WK ()
        lvl6_s4W1
          = $wcountdown
              @ m_s4WK ww_s4WR ww1_s4WS ww2_s4WT ww3_s4WX ww4_s4WY } in
      let {
        lvl7_s4W2 :: m_s4WK ()
        lvl7_s4W2 = pure @ m_s4WK ww_s4WR @ () () } in
      ww1_s4WS
        @ Int
        @ ()
        ww3_s4WX
        (\ (v_a192 :: Int) ->
           case v_a192 of { I# ds_d3xJ ->
           case ds_d3xJ of ds1_X3xT {
             __DEFAULT ->
               ww2_s4WT @ () @ () (ww4_s4WY (I# (-# ds1_X3xT 1#))) lvl6_s4W1;
             0# -> lvl7_s4W2
           }
           })
end Rec }

-- RHS size: {terms: 17, types: 32, coercions: 21, joins: 0/0}
main1 :: State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, () #)
main1
  = \ (s_a3z5 :: State# RealWorld) ->
      case (((($wcountdown
                 @ (StateT Int IO)
                 lvl_r4VN
                 lvl1_r50i
                 lvl2_r50j
                 (lvl3_r50k `cast` <Co:13>)
                 lvl4_r50l)
              `cast` <Co:4>)
               lvl5_r50m)
            `cast` <Co:4>)
             s_a3z5
      of
      { (# ipv_a3z8, ipv1_a3z9 #) ->
      (# ipv_a3z8,
         case ipv1_a3z9 of { (a1_a3y3, ds2_a3y4) -> a1_a3y3 } #)
      }
```

Yikes! What a mess! It's amazing how much of a difference that one type
signature made!  Our simple `mtl` program above has turned into an unholy
mess of passing around overly-polymorphic functions. We've paid an awful price
to abstract away our monad stack, *even though the actual program being run
didn't change!*

Of course, this isn't a *real problem* in the wild. Compile the program again,
this time without the `-fno-specialise` flag[^2] --- `ghc Example.hs -O`:

[^2]: `-fspecialise` is included in `-O`.

```haskell
Rec {
-- RHS size: {terms: 14, types: 13, coercions: 0, joins: 0/0}
$w$scountdown
  :: Int# -> State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, ((), Int) #)
$w$scountdown
  = \ (ww_s5dY :: Int#) (w_s5dV :: State# RealWorld) ->
      case ww_s5dY of ds_X3xU {
        __DEFAULT -> $w$scountdown (-# ds_X3xU 1#) w_s5dV;
        0# -> (# w_s5dV, lvl1_r5jV #)
      }
end Rec }

-- RHS size: {terms: 12, types: 29, coercions: 0, joins: 0/0}
main1 :: State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, () #)
main1
  = \ (s_X3Bw :: State# RealWorld) ->
      case $w$scountdown 10# s_X3Bw of { (# ipv_a3z9, ipv1_a3za #) ->
      (# ipv_a3z9,
         case ipv1_a3za of { (a1_a3y4, ds2_a3y5) -> a1_a3y4 } #)
      }
```

Whew! We're back to the speedy program we started with. `-fspecialise` has done
the hard work of transforming our *abstract code* into *fast code* for us ---
exactly as a good compiler should.

## What's Going On?

It's amazing how drastic the differences are in the generated code, just from
flipping a switch!

Before we can discuss exactly how this transformation helps, we need to first
go over some details of how GHC implements a few source-level Haskell features.
The first is *dictionaries*, which are how typeclass dispatch works.

### Dictionaries

Consider the following program in source-level Haskell:

```haskell
class Eq a where
  (==) :: a -> a -> Bool

instance Eq () where
  (==) _ _ = True

equate :: Eq a => a -> a -> Bool
equate a1 a2 = a1 == a2

main :: IO ()
main = print $ equate () ()
```

Internally, GHC will generate the equivalent program:

```haskell
data Eq a = Eq  -- #1
  (a -> a -> Bool)

(==) :: Eq a -> a -> a -> Bool
(==) dEq'a =  -- #2
  case dEq'a of
    Eq eqMethod -> eqMethod

eqUnit :: Eq ()  -- # 3
eqUnit = Eq
  (\_ _ -> True)

equate :: Eq a -> a -> a -> Bool  -- #4
equate dEq'a a1 a2 = (==) dEq'a a1 a2  -- #5

main :: IO ()
main = print $ equate eqUnit () ()  -- #6
```

Notably, the following changes occur:

1. The `class Eq a` is transformed into `data Eq a`, with each class method
   becoming a field.
2. The class method `(==)` receives a new `Eq a` parameter, and becomes a
   function which pattern matches on it.
3. The `instance Eq ()` becomes a top-level declaration of an `Eq ()` value.
4. The `Eq a` *constraint* on `equate` becomes a *parameter* of the new `Eq a`
   datatype.
5. The usage of `(==)` in `equate` receives the new `dEq'a` parameter.
6. The usage of `equate` at type `a ~ ()` in `main` receives the new top-level
   `eqUnit :: Eq ()` value as an argument.

We call the values `eqUnit` and `dEq'a` *dictionaries*. More precisely, a
dictionary is any value whose type is a data type corresponding to a typeclass.
Dictionaries do not exist in source-level Haskell, only in the generated Core.
In real Core, dictionaries have names that start with `$d`, but we'll omit the
leading `$` today, so we don't get it confused with the `($)` operator.

From all of this that we see that, under the hood, `class` definitions are just
`data` definitions, and that constraints are just invisible parameters.

### Case of Known Constructor

Consider the following program:

```haskell
blah =
  case True of
    True  -> foo
    False -> bar
```

Because we're scrutinizing on a constant value here, the result of this
expression must always be `foo`.  As such, it's safe to replace the entire
pattern match expression with `foo`:

```haskell
blah = foo
```

This transformation is known as the *case of known constructor* optimization.
While humans would never write such a thing by hand, expressions like these
often come up as the result of other optimizing transformations.

### Rewrite Rules

One final thing to discuss is GHC's term rewriting mechanism, known as *rewrite
rules*.

Rewrite rules are little statements that say "*this thing* can be written as
*that thing*." Whenever GHC encounters *this thing*, it will duly rewrite it as
*that thing*. The motivating use case is to allow library authors to implement
domain-specific optimizations --- such as ensuring composing functions don't
generate intermediate structures. You might have heard of "list fusion," which
is implemented via rewrite rules.

Rewrite rules must preserve the type of the expression, but besides that are
free to do anything they'd like. Just as an example, we can write a program
which prints `hello world` seemingly from nowhere:

```haskell
{-# RULES
  "it's magic!"
    pure () = putStrLn "hello world"
  #-}

main :: IO ()
main = pure ()
```

Compiling this with `-O0` won't print any message when run, but will print
`hello world` when compiled with `-O`. Spooky!

When `-XTypeApplications` is enabled, rewrite rules are allowed to match on
types too! For example, the following program will print `2 1 1`:

```haskell
{-# LANGUAGE AllowAmbiguousTypes #-}
{-# LANGUAGE RankNTypes          #-}
{-# LANGUAGE TypeApplications    #-}

magic :: forall b a. a -> a
magic = id
{-# NOINLINE magic #-}

{-# RULES "it's magic!"
      forall (a :: Int).
        magic @String a = a + 1
      #-}

main :: IO ()
main = do
  print $ magic @String (1 :: Int)
  print $ magic @Bool   (1 :: Int)
  print $ magic @String (1 :: Integer)
```

Of course, you shouldn't abuse rewrite rules like this --- make sure any rules
you write are just more efficient versions of an equivalent program --- but it's
helpful to demonstrate what's going on.

Internally, GHC uses lots of rewrite rules itself! All of its constant-folding
(e.g. replacing `2 + 3` with `5` at compile time) is done via rewrite rules,
which helps separate that logic from the main compiler.

## Specialization

So with all of that background information out of the way, we're finally ready
to talk about how the specializer works.

Recall our our original `mtl` program, transformed so it has its dictionaries
explicitly passed:

```haskell
countdown :: Monad m -> MonadState Int m -> m ()
-- There is a `Monad m` constraint on `MonadState s m`, which is where this
-- extra constraint comes from.
countdown dMonad'm dMonadState'm = do dMonad'm
  v <- get dMonadState'm
  case v of
    0 -> pure dMonad'm ()
    _ -> do dMonad'm
      put dMonadState'm $ v - 1
      countdown dMonad'm dMonadState'm

main :: IO ()
main =
  S.evalStateT
    (countdown
      (dMonadStateT dMonadIO)
      (dMonadStateStateT dMonadIO))
    10
```

When `-fspecialise` is set, the specializer will look for any calls to
polymorphic functions with all of their dictionaries saturated by "interesting"
dictionaries. The dictionaries `dMonad'm` and `dMonadState'm` in `countdown`
aren't interesting, since they're just opaque dictionary variables; we don't
know anything about them.

However, GHC notices that `countdown` is called with `m ~ StateT Int IO`, and
that all of its dictionaries are statically known. As such, it emits a
*specialized* version of `countdown`, monomorphized to `StateT Int IO ()`:

```haskell
scountdown_StateT :: StateT Int IO ()
scountdown_StateT = do (dMonadStateT dMonadIO)
  v <- get (dMonadStateStateT dMonadIO)
  case v of
    0 -> pure (dMonadStateT dMonadIO) ()
    _ -> do (dMonadStateT dMonadIO)
      put (dMonadStateStateT dMonadIO) $ v - 1
      scountdown_StateT
```

In addition, the specializer will emit a rewrite rule:

```haskell
{-# RULES "SPEC countdown @ (StateT Int IO)"
      forall (dMonad'm :: Monad (StateT Int IO))
             (dMonadState'm :: MonadState Int (StateT Int IO)).
        countdown @(StateT Int IO) dMonad'm dMonadState'm =
          scountdown_StateT
      #-}
```

This rewrite rule will find any call to countdown at `m ~ StateT Int IO`, ignore
the dictionaries passed to it, and replace the entire expression with the
specialized `scountdown_StateT` function.

In particular, this means that `main` becomes:

```haskell
main :: IO ()
main = S.evalStateT scountdown_StateT 10
```

The rule takes advantage of the fact that dictionaries are known to be
consistent (all expressions for a dictionary of a given type eventually evaluate
to the same record), so it can completely ignore its two dictionary arguments.
However, in principle there's *absolutely no reason* this same technique
couldn't be used to specialize on other, non-dictionary, arguments!

Notice now that `pure`, `get`, and the two do-blocks in `scountdown_StateT` are
now called with interesting dictionaries, so `pure`, `get` and `>>=` can now all
also be specialized at `StateT Int IO`.

Eventually the concrete dictionaries and corresponding specializations have
propagated throughout the entire program. The optimizer can take advantage of
two other properties now, namely that class methods were already transformed
into pattern matches, and that all of the dictionaries are statically known.
Which means, we have created several places in which we can now *case of known
case!*

For example, let's consider the `get` in `countdown`. It now looks something
like this:

```haskell
  v <- case MonadState (StateT $ \s -> implOfPureForIO (s, s)) ... of
         MonadState getMethod _ _ -> getMethod
```

which can obviously be simplified to

```haskell
  v <- StateT $ \s -> implOfPureForIO (s, s)
```

This is already a great improvement! But it gets better, recall that we're
binding in the `StateT` monad, which in turn is calling bind in `IO`. But bind
in `IO` is itself implemented as a pattern match, and so
case-of-known-constructor applies there too!

The end result is that GHC spins for a while, alternatingly specializing,
inlining, case-of-known-casing, and performing a few other optimizations. Each
of these in turn opens up additional opportunities for the others to fire. After
a few iterations of this, the resulting code is often *orders of magnitude*
faster!

## Coming in 8.10.1...

Everything described above is how the compiler behaves today in GHC 8.6.5 (and
has, since like 2007 or something.) However, when digging into the performance
of my free monad library [`polysemy`][polysemy], I noticed that code written
against my library wasn't benefiting from the specialization pass! As a result,
my library was performing anywhere between 10x and 1000x *worse* than `mtl`,
even though *the eventual code being run was identical to `mtl`.*

Like our experiments above into `mtl`, I was paying a performance cost for
abstraction, even though the concrete program was identical.

Some investigation by the indefatigable [mpickering][mpickering] pointed out
that the specializer was failing to specialize. As it happens, the specializer
is more than happy to optimize away dictionaries that are passed as the *first*
non-type arguments to a function, but no others.

[mpickering]: https://mpickering.github.io/

That means it will go home early if it runs into a function whose signature is
of the form:

```haskell
foo :: Int -> forall a. Eq a => ...
```

Again, humans would never write such a thing, but the optimizer is more than
happy to spit these things out. Additionally, code like this often shows up
whenever you use a newtype to get around GHC's annoying error that it "does not
(yet) support impredicative polymorphism".

Anyway, all of this is to say that in 8.10.1, the specialization pass is [now
smart enough][patch] to specialize functions like `foo`. As a result, we should
see very real performance improvements in libraries like `polysemy` and `lens`,
and, excitingly, *any programs which use them!*

Oncologists in East Delhi, Delhi offer the proper diagnosis and treatment for tumors. An oncologist is a doctor who deals with the tumors. They offer complete diagnosis, care and treatment of a particular tumour. When bodys immune system is unable to replace older cells with the newer ones, died cells remain in the blood and starts depositing there and this results in the formation of a tumor. Each and every tumor is not necessarily related to cancer. There are many reasons why a person develops a tumor like drinking alcohol, excessive sunlight and radiation exposure, genetic problems, obesity and certain viruses. An oncologist will explain the meaning of the disease stage to the patient, discuss about various treatment options and recommends the best possible treatment to the patient. He also delivers optimal care and helps in improving the quality of life both through curative therapy and palliative care with pain and symptom management.

My husband and I loved this. The succulent, tender chicken with the tang of barbecue sauce plus the sweet brioche worked well together. I served it with sweet corn and wedges, too. It was hands-down delicious. Probably some of the best barbecue sandwiches I've eaten.
Before we get on with the recipe, have you entered the Conscious Box giveaway yet?
Mix the rub ingredients and rub it into the chicken.
Put the chicken in the slowcooker with nothing else. The chicken will produce its own juices.
Cover and cook on low for about 6 hours. Remove the chicken and allow to rest on a cutting board.
Set aside 1/2 of the juice. With the other half in the slowcooker, add the barbecue sauce.
Shred the chicken and return to the slowcooker. There should be enough liquid to and sauce to just cover it. If not, add a bit more of the cooking liquid. Switch it to the keep warm setting and let it simmer away until you're ready to serve up.
Spoon into buns and drizzle over any extra sauce if necessary. Be prepared for an amazing dish.
It's not quite 7:30am when I open your webpage. "OMG!" popped out of my mouth when I saw the first picture. OMG it looks amazing! I am now starving, but at least I don't have to wonder what I am making for supper anymore!
Hahaha :) That's great! I hope you make it & it turns out well!
All credit to you, love! What a fab recipe!
Thank you, Crystal! I've joine the Crock Pot Crowd :) Thanks!
I love to try new recipe and this sounds great............Thank you for sharing with the Clever Chicks Blog Hop this week; I hope you'll join us again!
Just been drooling reading your fab recipe! And reminds me that I REALLY want to purchase a slow cooker. These look like pretty special sandwiches to me and would be so wonderful on a picnic, thanks so much for entering them to the Four Seasons Food challenge!

The other day, while searching the Internet for DIY project ideas to keep my kids entertained so I could get some work done, I detoured onto a page showcasing the artwork of one of the true unsung legends in comic art: Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez. I know, it's REALLY HARD to be an unsung legend in anything, but if ever that phrase was warranted, it is for this incredible artist, who happens to be celebrating his 72nd birthday this week.
The man has forged a decades-long career crafting unparalleled artwork featuring just about every hero in the DC Comics pantheon. However, unlike George Perez, Neal Adams, Mike Grell or Greg Capullo, Garcia-Lopez did not make his bones on a specific series or career-defining storyline. Instead, his history stretches across the entire DC library. For a generation (or two) of fans, when they close their eyes and picture a DC superhero, the image they see has sprung from Garcia-Lopez's artistic genius… even if they have no idea who he is.

He's certainly done his fair share of monthly books, from Superman to The New Teen Titans, as well as Bronze Age oddities like the short-lived Joker solo series and Tarzan. He also drew classic single issues like the 1977 Superman vs. Wonder Woman Treasury comic. But what JLGL is best known for, even by fans who have no idea who he is, is for establishing the look of the DC heroes for the entire world to see. For decades, it has been JLGL's designs that have graced all manner of DC licensed products. Where Neal Adams has his epochal run on Green Lantern/Green Arrow and George Perez has his classic stints on The New Teen Titans and Wonder Woman, Garcia-Lopez's legacy can be traced back to one seemingly innocuous bit of corporate marketing: the 1982 DC Comics Style Guide.
The Style Guide is essentially a reference book for any company that's interested in using DC superheroes on their products. From Underoos to calendars, napkins, mugs, T-shirts … literally anything the Warner Bros. licensing team has slapped a DC legend on in the past 30 or so years has included an image drawn by Garcia-Lopez. It is his interpretation of these characters that have traveled the world and that have became the defining versions for millions of people who may not have ever read a single DC comic book. These few images below speak for themselves:
Style guides are the type of marketing tool that only the most devoted of fans ever cares about. But nearly 40 years later, that DC Style Guide is still discussed. Even though comics have evolved and the art has changed with it, and even though Superman has had a mullet, Batman's lost the yellow oval logo and Wonder Woman's armored up, Garcia-Lopez designs are still used in merchandising to this day. Fans still bid crazy money for the original art from the Style Guide and clamor for DC to publish a reproduction of it.
There's even a Garcia-Lopez Facebook fan page full of the images, if you want to lose yourself in a glorious rabbit hole of comic art gloriousness.
Later this year, DC plans to re-issue that legendary Superman/Wonder Woman slugfest in an oversized hardcover format. I'll be first in line to buy that. But I'm really hoping DC finally puts together a coffee table art book based on Garcia-Lopez's work. I'm clearly biased, but I believe I'm not overstating things by saying DC is leaving some serious money on the table by not pursuing this. Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez's artwork has defined DC Comics for close to 40 years. It's long overdue that his greatness is celebrated and commemorated.

New Ryanair planes to be based outside of UK due to Brexit
Rachel Lynch
Irish low cost airlines Ryanair have said they will base all 50 of their new planes outside of the UK because of Britain's decision to leave the EU. Since the UK voted to leave there have been a number of companies who have hinted at a move.
Chief executive Michael O'Leary said there was "much more political certainty in continental Europe", and warned of lower growth over the next few years.
Mr O'Leary said:
"We're being very cautious about the amount of capacity we're allocating to the UK over the next two or three years until we get some kind of indication of what Brexit will look like. It's not because we're annoyed or anything with the UK, but we have much more political certainty in continental Europe than we have in the UK while they're all running around trying to work out what Brexit looks like."
O' Leary went on to explain his view on the exit from Europe and commented on a number of jobs that are set to be lost;
"None of the new aircraft we take delivery of next year will be based here in the UK and already you can see the Brexit decision is costing real jobs, real visitors are being lost and real investment is being postponed."

Tenth Circuit: Mandatory Minimum Sentence Provision in Child Pornography Statute Unconstitutional
November 3, 2017 By DU Law Student Leave a Comment
The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals issued its opinion in United States v. Haymond on Thursday, August 31, 2017.
This appeal comes from the district court's decision to revoke Andre Haymond's supervised release based, in part, on a finding that Haymond knowingly possessed thirteen images of child pornography, which were found on his phone by his probation officer. On appeal, Haymond argued that the evidence was insufficient to support a finding by a preponderance of the evidence that he knowingly possessed child pornography, and he argued that the sentence imposed upon him is unconstitutional because it violates his right to due process. The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the district court's revocation of Haymond's supervised release, but holds that the sentencing was unconstitutional.
In regards to Haymond's sufficiency of the evidence argument, the Tenth Circuit found that the district court abused its discretion by relying on a clearly erroneous finding of fact that Haymond knowingly took some act related to the images that resulted in the images being on his phone in a manner consistent with knowing possession, as testimony supports only a finding that the images were accessible on Haymond's phone, not that Haymond necessarily saved, downloaded, or otherwise placed them there. Nonetheless, the court found that the remaining evidence in the record was sufficient to support a finding that Haymond knowingly possessed the child pornography. The information the court relied on was (1) Haymond had nearly exclusive use and possession of his password-protected phone; (2) at some point, thirteen images of child pornography were accessible somewhere on Haymond's phone; and (3) the sexual acts depicted in the images are consistent with the images forming the basis of Haymond's original conviction. The court found the evidence supported a finding that it is more likely than not that Haymond downloaded the images and knowingly possessed child pornography, in violation of his release.
The Circuit then moved on to the constitutional question. Haymond's original conviction, a class C felony, included a supervised release statute that requires a mandatory term of supervised release of five years to life under 18 U.S.C. § 3583(k), which may be revoked if a court later finds that the defendant has violated the conditions of that release. If not for the mandatory sentence required by § 3583(k), the sentence Haymond would have received following revocation of his release would have been significantly lower — two years at the most. The Circuit concluded that § 3583(k) violates the Fifth and Sixth Amendments because (1) it strips the sentencing judge of discretion to impose punishment within the statutorily prescribed range; and (2) it imposes heightened punishment on sex offenders, expressly based not on their original crimes of conviction, but on new conduct for which they have not been convicted by a jury beyond a reasonable doubt and for which they may be separately charged, convicted, and punished. The Circuit found that § 3583(k) violates the Sixth Amendment because it punishes the defendant with reincarceration for conduct of which he or she has not been found guilty by a jury beyond a reasonable doubt, and it raises the possibility that a defendant would be charged and punished twice for the same conduct, in violation of the Fifth Amendment.
The Circuit noted that the court must refrain from invalidating more of the statute than is necessary. There are two sentences under § 3583(k) that the court found to violate the Constitution by increasing the term of imprisonment authorized by statute based on facts found by a judge, not by a jury beyond a reasonable doubt, and by tying the available punishment to subsequent conduct, rather than the original crime of conviction. The court concluded that without the unconstitutional provision, all violations of the conditions of supervised release would be governed by a different statute, which the court finds to be more appropriate. The sentences at issue under § 3583(k) are found to be unconstitutional and, therefore, unenforceable.
The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals AFFIRMED the revocation of Haymond's supervised release, VACATED his sentence following that revocation, and REMANDED for resentencing without consideration of § 3583(k)'s mandatory minimum sentence provision or its increased penalties for certain subsequent conduct.

John Webb, född 1611 i Butley, Somerset, död 24 oktober 1672, var en engelsk arkitekt.

Webb studerade hos Inigo Jones, som han också var ingift släkting till. Han hjälpte Jones när denne arbetade med St Paul's Cathedral i London under 1630-talet. 1648–1650 återuppbyggde han Wilton House i Wiltshire efter en brand 1647/1648. Efter Jones död 1652 var Webb den oöverträffade mästaren på klassisk arkitektur i England. De bästa av hans arbeten som överlevt är den korintiska portiken och norra fasaden på The Vyne i Hampshire (1654–1656), vilket var den tidigaste portiken i England, och King Charles Block i Greenwich Palace (1664–1669). Den bästa lantegendomen han ritade var förmodligen Amesbury Abbey i Wiltshire (1659–1661, ombyggt av Hopper 1834–1840).

Många av hans andra byggen har rivits, men flera återgavs i Vitruvius Britannicus (1715, 1717 och 1725) där de hade stort inflytande på earlen av Burlington och hans kollegor under det andra återupplivandet av palladianisk arkitektur. Webb blev mindre känd än hans arbeten motiverade eftersom många av hans arbeten inledningsvis tillskrevs Inigo Jones.

AdWeek points out that this spot seems to be a back-to-basics approach to Apple Ads following the disappointments with the widely unpopular "Genius Ads." While the point is interesting, I don't think it shows a long term understanding of Apple's advertising.
Think Different was risky. No product is shown in the ad. For that matter, no computers of any kind appear during the campaign. If you're not a professional marketer, you may have never seen a Brand Anthem. Often agencies will produce longer form, high-creative work aimed at marketing people or internal audiences. These typically aren't shown to the public because media is expensive and customer attention is scarce. If you have the money for media and the customer's attention, the safe bet is generally on a product message. Under Steve, Apple made the realization that there was no good product message, and Apple had to buy time. So, they drew a line in the sand and publicly proclaimed what they stood for. In those days, most people believed Apple was going out of business. Windows 95 was eating away the final advantages of the Mac. Luckily, Think Different worked. It was lifestyle advertising at its best, and it rallied the troops–both internal and external to Apple's payroll long enough for new products to reach production.
The first major introduction after Steve return was the Power Macintosh G3 and the Apple Store online. The Power Mac G3 featured a new processor that offered some genuine, if overstated, performance advantages for that time. The hardware was very nice in terms of serviceability, but not all that different from previous Power Macs. Apple introduced a little bit of swagger into it's ads with "Toasted."
Toasted was another stop gap ad. The Power Macintosh G3 family was well into development by the time Steve returned, but you can see modern elements to Apple's ads in this spot. There is a plain white background. One product feature is communicated during the entire 30 second spot. The ad is simple, direct and focused.
In August of 1998, the first real fruit of Steve's return was born: the iMac. With this spot, we can see the formula for all of Apple's subsequent Mac product ads. Let's watch one now.
When the iMac was introduced, connecting to the Internet was confusing for most people. You needed a modem, and you needed to configure things like PPP and TCP/IP in order for that modem to offer Internet services. This spot was devoted to showing the iMac was easier. Every iMac ad highlighted a single feature. Apple's Mac ads continued with this formula all the way to the present. Take a a look at the latest ads for the Retina MacBook Pro.
One product is featured for the entire 30 seconds. One feature is the focus of the entire spot. It is explained simply, directly and focused. Look back at Apple's Mac ads. Dozens of product spots all support this message. From the candy-colored iMacs, to the funky floating display of the iMac G4, to the weapons grade Power Mac G4 and into the modern age of impossibly thin portable computers the formula has remained remarkably consistent.
Of course, Apple doesn't just do product ads. They also produce higher-order campaigns to sell platforms. The first such campaign was "Switch." These ads were straight-shot testimonials from former Windows users who made a move to the Mac.
The switch ads were well liked by most Apple fans, but were the source of considerable debate in the larger world of tech. No one could say for sure if these ads were really convincing people to buy Macs. Apple's sales were improved, but that wasn't saying much–Apple was coming back from the verge of collapse. After the Switch campaign ran its course, the Get a Mac campaign filled the Mac campaign role. I'm sure you remember its opening line.
We see that Apple has two concurrent ad models for the Mac. On the one hand you have the very consistent product ads. On the other, you have higher-concept campaigns that lay the groundwork for the product spots. The most recent Mac campaign was Mac Genius, and it hit the market with a thud.
I actually like these spots. As a technical Mac person, I get interrupted by well meaning people seeking Mac help a lot. I had high hopes for this series, but the crowd spoke quickly and loudly. Apple pulled these spots in record time, and the Mac campaign spot is left empty.
Today, Apple makes more than Macs. It may seem strange, but there was a time when the idea of Apple making something other than computers and peripherals was an oddity.. As great as the iMac was, it was not the product that propelled Apple to the forefront of culture. That honor belongs to the iPod. When the iPod was introduced, it was a Mac only MP3 player. There was no iTunes Music Store. Apple had to explain what the product was, and the first spot shows us a bridge from the product focused Mac spots and the lifestyle focused iPod campaigns to follow.
I love this spot. You see the torch pass from the Mac to the iPod. The dancing man also lays the groundwork for the future direction of iPod advertising. In 2001, the iPod was a strange new thing from Apple, but once Windows compatibility and the iTunes Music Store were added, Apple was suddenly the leader of a market by sales volume. Everyone knew what the iPod was, and so iPod ads could focus on lifestyle. "Silhouettes" took Apple advertising in a new direction.
Like the Mac product spots, iPod ads remained remarkable consistent. Although the visual production gained texture and depth as the spots evolved, the iconic product representation remained, and the effect of the music on a dancing silhouette was the payoff. These spots worked with youth culture in a way the Mac ads never could, and cemented Apple as a dominant leader in music, and consumer electronics. Apple was no longer the maker of a niche computer brand.
Fueled by a resurgent Mac and explosive iPod growth, Apple made a bold move by launching a smart phone. The iPhone represented a fundamental shift in user interface models, and so it was not enough to show the hardware and use voiceovers about new features as worked for the Mac. Likewise, the iPod lifestyle ads couldn't convey how new and remarkable the iPhone was. Apple and TBWA created a new direction for iPhone product ads where a product demo is shared for the entire spot. This worked well because the iPhone's interface was novel and captivating.
iPhone (and iPad) ads have been just as consistent as Mac and iPod ads. Every spot is a direct product shot showing a demonstration of features and usability–at least they were until Apple introduced a new interface model for the iPhone. Siri demanded something special.
The first Siri ads were great. They showcased actual use cases and response from the product. Although shot differently than traditional iPhone spots, this was appropriate. Siri is a different way to use an iPhone. Siri ads followed a formula of their own. The focus was on Siri–in most case the full face of the person using Siri is obscured. The focus was on the iPhone and on Siri.
Apple broke this formula with the celebrity Siri ads and I never liked them. The were celebrity focused instead of product focused. Apple has used celebrities to good effect in the past–Will Ferrel did a couple of amazingly funny switch ads. But these ads didn't accurately communicate the product experience. While anyone with an iPhone 4S could try the examples given in the first Siri ads with great success, the celebrity ads were too scripted. Just try asking your 4S to remind you to "put the Gestapo on ice" as Samuel Jackson did–I've never seen this work in the wild.
As an aside, some of my favorite Apple ads are for the iPod Touch. These ads combine the iPhone style demonstrations with iPod style fun and lifestyle focus. The iPod Touch is a mashup product, so it makes sense for its ad formula to be a mashup as well.
With all this in mind, it seems clear that Apple has very consistent formulas for product advertising. The new iPhone spots aren't a retreat from the Siri ads at all–they're a continuation of the approach that extends all the way back to the iMac ads of 1998. Apple's Siri ads shouldn't be viewed as an aberration. Instead, they are part of a new family of Feature ads. Look at the spots for iCloud, or IOS 5 for other examples.
No company can execute flawlessly all the time, and there have been some bad ads in Apple's history. A careful examination of Apple's ad history should make it clear that the iPhone 5 ads aren't an attempt to right the wrongs of the Mac Genius spots–they are the normal formula for new iPhone hardware. Apple exhibits remarkable discipline in maintaining a brand that is consistent in how it communicates.
We haven't seen the last of the Apple feature ads. Just don't confuse them for product spots.
I'll make it worth the effort if you can.

The synergistic pairing of Vitamin B12-100 with TruQ10-QH creates an undisputed dream team for the enhancement of energy production and cellular life.
It's only been 2 weeks but I can sure feel the new extra energy,and just a sense of well being. I am a very active and healthy 63, and was starting to get sluggish and depressed in the afternoons and I'm not doing that now. These are a little pricey for my budget,but I think feeling great is worth sacrificing some other things for!
Andrew Lessman's TruQ10-QH provides 50 mg of Ubiquinol (QH) or as we prefer to call it – TruQ10. It is only subtly different from standard CoQ10 (Ubiquinone), but recognized as the "active" natural form of CoQ10.
For almost 30 years, Andrew Lessman has been the unquestioned leader in educating the world about the benefits of CoQ10 and now, also as TruQ10. Both CoQ10 and TruQ10 are naturally found in their highest concentrations in our most vital organs (heart, brain, liver, kidneys and pancreas).
CoQ10 and TruQ10 must both be present in all cells at all times for energy to be produced and for life to exist. TruQ10 is considered the "active" form of CoQ10 because CoQ10 goes to "work" as TruQ10. In other words, by delivering TruQ10 directly, we may enhance the effectiveness of CoQ10. Unfortunately, TruQ10 is extremely fragile, requiring a special formulation to protect it from light and oxidation. Our unique Gamma Tocopherol-rich formula guarantees all the benefits of TruQ10, along with those of Gamma Tocopherol.
All cells require TruQ10 and CoQ10, and our unique TruQ10 directly provides the benefits of CoQ10's most "active" form. TruQ10's enhanced activity becomes even more desirable and beneficial as we experience the many factors that lower our body's CoQ10 levels, including aging, health challenges, cholesterol-lowering statin drugs and physical or emotional stress. In short, TruQ10 is an essential part of any science-based anti-aging or energy program.
Vitamin B12-100 delivers 100 mcg of natural B12 - the most important of all B vitamins to supplement. This importance stems from B12's long list of critical functions and the fact that its large molecular size makes it the most difficult of all vitamins to absorb.
B12 is essential for all energy production and the creation of hemoglobin, without which oxygen cannot be transported. We also cannot metabolize carbohydrates or burn fat without B12. Even more important is B12's vital role in the synthesis of our genetic material and its requirement for normal cell growth. B12 is also essential for heart, immune and nervous system health.
B12's enormous molecular size makes it all but impossible to absorb from typical supplements, which are easily destroyed by stomach acid. It is also well-established that stress, aging and digestive issues only further reduce Vitamin B12's already poor absorption. Our unique Vitamin B12 is protected from stomach acid and releases its contents in the small intestine where it is absorbed, making it the only intelligent and effective way to orally deliver B12's benefits. Best of all, it comes in a small, soft, easy-to-swallow capsule that is gentle even to the most sensitive stomachs.
TruQ10-QH Ubiquinol-50: Consume one or more capsules daily, or as recommended by a health care professional.
For best results, take this product with food containing a small amount of fat or oil.
Vitamin B12-100: Consume one or more capsules daily, or as recommended by a health care professional.

Ari & Mia: Sister Folk Duo at Cozy Concerts
Niebyl-Proctor Marxist Library
Strikingly beautiful, distinctive and exhilarating, with expressive vocals that will find a way into hearts and minds (No Depression), Boston based folk duo Ari & Mia reference the styles of Southern and Northeastern fiddle music and the early American songbook to create a realm where their own compositions cross paths with older traditions. Both award-winning songwriters, their stylish and sophisticated music honors the sounds of Appalachian cottages, rural dance floors, and urban concert halls. Combine this with their innovative approach to songwriting and the result is a captivating sound.
Saturday, November 11, 7:30 pm
6501 Telegraph Ave., Oakland (two blocks south of Berkeley)
Concert & Desserts - $25 (All proceeds to artists & costs)
Enjoy a selection of desserts prepared by Chef Traci, fresh fruit, and hot/iced tea
Ari & Mia are not creating a new music; they are taking it to another level and exploring areas that have not been attempted in decades. Their all-acoustic, pure and honest approach has significance. Treading the edges of traditional folk in a more faithful manner, they share the lyrical wizardry of 70s bands Steeleye Span, Tir-na-Nog, and the Incredible String Band, with searing harmony as good as The Beach Boys. The sisters sing in unison like two violins, continues No Depression on the review of their most recent release, Out of Stone.
Together, the sisters have toured all across the U.S and Australia and are both graduates of New England Conservatory's cutting edge Contemporary Improvisation department. Their two previous albums, Land on Shore and Unruly Heart, ranked high on the national folk radio charts.

Government and utility incentive programs can drive down the cost of your Pennsylvania solar installation by more than 50%. If you choose to pay as you go for your solar power, most of the incentives transfer to your system owner, who passes the savings on to you in the form of a low to no upfront cost.
As a homeowner, you can generate SRECs and sell them to utility companies, which need them to meet Pennsylvania's Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) solar energy requirements. One credit is issued for each 1,000 kilowatt hours your solar panels generate and SRECs are an entirely separate benefit from your electricity savings.
Fixed Price Yearly Plan — Payments for $20 per credit are sent every February for three years for the credits your system generated in the previous energy year.
Your Pennsylvania home gets more sun than you think! Believe it or not, we get 50% more sunshine per day than Germany, the world leader in solar installations.
Allowing each solar panel to work independently, our quality technology from top solar manufacturers allows us the flexibility to customize your solar system design and produce the maximum energy from your solar panels — even if part of your Pennsylvania roof is in the shade!
Pennsylvania electricity rates up 38% over 10 years!
The solar carve-out requirements within the Pennsylvania RPS were enacted in November 2004 by Pennsylvania Statute 73. Recent legislative attempts to increase the requirements have not been successful.
...and more! We can serve any Pennsylvania residential home customers with solar.


10 years ago, archaeological hero Indiana Jones swung back onto our screen for the first time in over 20. With a fifth outing in the pipeline, this Rewind Review unearths the fourth movie in the Steven Spielberg directed franchise, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Written by George Lucas and Jeff Nathanson, Indy 4 sees the archaeologist in 1957 trying to outrace a Russian agent for a mystical and all-powerful crystal skull from the lost city of Akator, with the help of new sidekick Mutt and his old flame Marion.
Indiana Jones is once again played by Harrison Ford (Star Wars: The Force Awakens), who shows us why he really is the one and only Indy. He handles himself brilliantly during the action and has a great chemistry with the rest of the cast.
Starring as Mutt Williams is Shia LaBeouf (Transformers), who takes over the trusty sidekick duties. While Shia is great in the role and gives the character a little depth, he isn't a very interesting character, with the most memorable stuff being his connection to the main characters and the physical humour.
Also making her return is Karen Allen (Raiders of the Lost Ark), as Indy's original love interest, Marion Ravenwood. She's as feisty as always and able to handle herself really well when the time comes. It's just a shame she doesn't have that much screen time, as she only comes into the story halfway through.
Every action movie needs an antagonist, and in this we get Cate Blanchett (Mowgli) as Spalko, a smart Russian agent who can handle herself with a sword. She does have a good presence and can hold your attention whenever she's onscreen, but there's no threat from her which stops her from being as good as she could be.
Filling out the main cast is Ray Winstone and John Hurt, who don't really add anything to the story and only serve as a help or hindrance to Indy's adventure.
The story is pretty straight forward and uses the structure for the original trilogy as a basis, with Indy chasing after the MacGuffin of the title before the bad guys get it, but it changes a ton of plot points, making this feel very different. It also steers away from the realistic tone of the original films too and edges it towards a sci-fi movie, which doesn't fit into the world Indy lives in.
With this being an Indiana Jones movie, there's plenty of lively action to get adrenaline rushing, and while the action is expertly handled (it is Spielberg, after all), it doesn't feel like any one is in danger. The chases are good, the fights are good, but when there aren't any moments where the hero could lose or be killed, we are less likely to route for them. Adding that threat could make it better.
With the new movie having access to more effects, courtesy of ILM, the films makes good use of the new technology to bring us bigger sequences, but not necessarily better. For the most part, the effects look good, but certain green screen and creatures look out of place when the movie becomes more reliant on them.
Which brings us to the part most people were turned off, the sci-fi aspects. Under the right circumstances or as part of a different franchise, this could potentially work, but in an Indiana Jones movie, not so much. It's also a known fact that Steven Spielberg wasn't too keen on this either, and if he has his reservations, then its best to change it.
The legendary music maestro, John Williams (Superman) returns to create a new soundtrack that is nothing short of amazing. It heightens everything that happens on screen and harkens back to the days when soundtracks were properly cinematic.
With Indy and the crew riding off into the sunset at the end of Last Crusade, that seemed like a pretty definitive way to end the franchise, so bringing it back was a risky move that didn't really pay off and left many fans disappointed. We can only hope that, moving forward, the next adventure will be better.
Even though this is a good film with some excellent action sequences, overall, it just simply can't match the genius, pulse pounding adventure of the original trilogy. It messes with a perfect formula and takes some risks that don't pay off. It's entertaining, but it isn't great.

Dog Town is a series of photographic views and characterisations made in a small, neglected working class town in the Mississippi River valley, where the photographer was born and raised. Where nearly everyone she knew had fathers, brothers, husbands, sons, friends and lovers who laboured in the local factories. The images are a personal work of remembrance, and a beautiful meditation on the mineral wastes and dregs of an often unsparing, indifferent economy of industrial labour.
Jo Ann Walters has been practicing photography since 1980. Her photographs are in the collections of the MoMA, New York, Biblioteque Nationale and Center for Fine Photography, Bombay, India among others.

Unfortunately, not much has changed over the past 10 years to fix the illegal immigration crisis that has hit the United States and is forever altering the demographics and culture of the nation. America's borders are still not secure, tens of thousands of illegal aliens continue to pour into the country each month, and serious dangers continue to be ignored.
Therefore, the TRUTH still needs to be exposed about the costs and consequences of illegal immigration and the growing danger it poses to the American people.

Have You Registered for Coastal Magic Yet? Why Not?
Registration for Coastal Magic is OPEN!!
Don't miss your chance to meet over 50 fabulous urban fantasy, paranormal, and romance authors at Coastal Magic next February! Coastal Magic is easily one of my favorite cons to go to.This super casual book-lover weekend happens on Daytona Beach (those of you with me in the north know why this is awesome), and gives everyone the chance to hang out with fellow readers and amazing storytellers. Plus it occurs the weekend of my birthday. What's not to love, right?
There will also be a charity book sale and signing open to convention attendees, and FREE to the public. The charity, once again, is Habitat For Humanity. One of the nice things about the signing is that there will be additional authors participating, so keep an eye on the charity signing page to see who sneaks in for the afternoon!
The registration (which is $90 and covers all our scheduled activities, and your lunch with an author on Saturday) is capped at 250 readers/bloggers. We came *really* close to selling out of registrations last year, so if you know you're going to be coming to hang with us by the beach in February, I suggest getting yourself settled earlier than later! You just need to go to the REGISTRATION page of this site, and after you check out the details, you can click the EventBrite.com button there to buy your full weekend ticket.
I'm doing the hotel reservation process a bit different this year. You'll receive an email containing our group code and reservation page link after you complete your registration. I'm hoping this will slow down the "sellout" problem on our reserve block, as only those who've registered will have access to the room reserve info. You can still see the hotel info and fee details on our HOTEL/TRAVEL page as a reference. And FYI, I'll also list multiple, very nice and reasonably priced hotels within easy walking distance of our Hilton… as I anticipate we'll sell out again this year.
If you haven't been to Coastal Magic yet, you're missing out on a lot of fun. Be sure to keep up with all things Coastal Magic, by following it via your own personal social media drug of choice: Facebook |Twitter | Google+ | Pinterest | RSVP at the Facebook Event.

An Australian discovery capable of "curing" 3D plastic
By Richard P. Thomas	 On Dec 24, 2021
Scientists in Sydney have demonstrated a way to help 3D printed plastic "self-cure" quickly and inexpensively in a major commercial breakthrough.
A special powder added to the liquid resin used in the printing process can help repair materials if damaged, researchers at the University of NSW have found.
Repairs can be done at room temperature and should only take place under LED lighting, which triggers a chemical reaction and melting of the fractured parts.
Currently, achieving the same result may mean having to disassemble products and subject broken components to a series of heating cycles.
It also takes around 24 hours to complete, compared to an hour with the new method.
While three-dimensional printing or additive manufacturing generally has less of an impact on the environment, it does not yet meet the strict definition of being environmentally friendly.
With a lot of plastic involved and printers that run for days on end, any delay caused by repairing breakages has traditionally involved time, money and waste, said the research team's spokesperson, the Dr Nathaniel Corrigan.
But now they can be repaired easily and quickly, and in many situations damaged components can also be salvaged instead of being thrown away to start over.
"There is an obvious environmental benefit because you don't have to re-synthesize a whole new material every time it's broken," said Dr Corrigan.
"We are increasing the life of these materials, which will reduce plastic waste. "
The powder additive used is a trithiocarbonate or RAFT agent originally developed by CSIRO.
It allows you to reorganize the network of elements that make up the printed material and merge them.
This happens within about 30 minutes when the UV LED lights are shone directly at the broken plastic, with complete "healing" taking place in about an hour.
Experiments, including on a 3D printed violin, show that the strength of self-repairing plastic is fully recovered to its uninterrupted original state.
The team believes that commercialization is possible given the simplification and speed of their system.
"There are other processes that do this, but they rely on thermal chemistry to repair the material and it usually takes around 24 hours and multiple heat cycles to achieve the same type of result," Dr. Corrigan said.
"Another restriction is that you need a high temperature heated furnace and obviously you cannot repair the plastic material in situ – you will have to dismantle it from the component first, which adds a level of complexity and complexity. delay.
"With our system, you can leave the broken plastic in place and light up the entire component.
"In a lot of places where you use a polymeric material, you can use this technology," he said.
Dr Corrigan and his UNSW colleagues Cyrille Boyer and Michael Zhang believe the technology could be used in a range of applications where advanced 3D materials are used in specialized high-tech components.
These include wearable electronics, sensors, and even shoe manufacturing.
