One night a few months ago I had decided to try Benadryl again; I had done it a few times before without very satisfying results (minor auditory hallucinations and loss of memory). When I tried it before I had taken around 15-20 25mg pills. I decided that I wanted to have a very vivid experience and ended up taking 20 then 6 more about fifteen to twenty minutes later to make sure it was memorable.
**note, the times are probably EXTREMELY off as I was having a very hard time concentrating on what was happening around me.**
(~6:45)
At aprox. 10 minutes after ingestion my stomach began to ache as it had before when I took Benadryl a few weeks earlier. It is an unpleasant nauseating feeling that causes full body discomfort and a feeling of overheating.
(from about 7:00-7:30)
I begin to have the familiar auditory hallucinations while attempting to talk to my friends online, this proves to be very difficult to do as the hallucinations COMPLETELY cause you to lose focus and sense of where you are. Typing had become a very difficult task and I decided to say my goodbyes to friends (which probably ended up being along the lines of 'fi hasdx tha hjen' due to minor visual hallucinations that made the keys appear to be almost alien letters).
(7:30-8:45)
I had been seeing very strange things such as shadow people on my bunk bed crawling around (looking like men with hoods or a 'hunter' from the game Left 4 Dead) on my blankets.
Starting at 7:45 or so my sister entered my room and chatted with me, sitting on my dresser and watching over me (I thought this was normal, as she is somewhat of a parent to me) she only asks questions rarely and when I answer my voice seems very loud, and the auditory hallucinations have me believe that I am in a different place that I actually was at the time. She had sat there for what seemed like thirty or so minutes when I see my dad enter the room, head straight into the bathroom and stay there for about two or three minutes, he then emerged and had a lighter in his hand asking what this was doing there. I said sorry and did not respond further. *(mind you this was all hallucinated and VERY real seeming)*
(8:00?)
I get up to pee after having been sitting on the computer staring at a blank screen forgetting how to exit out of a game I had tried to play for about 10 minutes. This is where it all goes down the shitter.
(8:25?)
As I exit the bathroom,(having a difficult time walking) I look at my bed and see in between the folds of the sheets spiders emerge, accompanied by larger spiders. I am VERY scared because it all seemed so incredibly real that I was actually wondering why this had to happen to me when I took the Benadryl. I attempt to exit my room only to have my door handle COVERED with baby spiders. Naturally, I sqeauled like a
schoolgirl and called out to my sister (where she actually was), explaining that there were spiders in my room and I didn't know what to do. Sadly, she foolishly believed me and followed me as I ran outside of my room almost in tears from fear. She called my father who quickly came, he was not believing what I seeing (obviously). I thought I had been bitten and I actually SAW redness on my foot from the alleged 'bite'.
(not sure at all, maybe 9:30)
My father said I needed to go to the hospital and on the way there I thought I was going to the mall with a few of my friends. I kept fading in and out of reality, still seeing spiders on the back of the headrest in front of me.
(9:??)
I arrived at the hospital thinking I was in some strange airport in L.A. I began to fade back to what was actually happening. Waiting for the doctor to see me I was barraged with a series of questions that were used to determine what I had taken and why, and if I had attempted suicide with the diphenhydramine. Following ANY conversation took extreme effort as I forgot anything that was said to me, or that I had said quickly after it had been spoken.
(not sure at all)
I had been sitting in the room, STILL seeing things that resembled spiders crawling all along (they were more like nearly invisible threads of what seemed like hair crawling along my blanket and clothing). I was given a urine test as well as a blood test (I still remember the blood test, a rather large needle entering my vein with a pop and having to release my fist into a more relaxed position to allow the blood to fill the multiple glass vials).
(still not sure, probably late)
At this point I had nearly completely sobered up, realized the situation I am in and how I had caused this all to happen by reacting badly to something that was obviously not real, but seemed so realistic and vivid, including actual bite feelings from the spiders.
  By the time all the charcoal drink had, at some point, entered my body I had thrown up into the basin about three times (my memory is still rather unclear).
All in all this wasn't a very enjoyable trip, probably due to the sheer amount of diphenhydramine I ingested, but I see it as something that people should experience at least once in their lives. Hopefully not with the same amount that I had, though.

Guru Meditation Reports¶
A Guru Meditation Report (GMR) is generated by the Designate services when service processes receiving SIGUSR2 signal. The report is a general-purpose debug report for developers and system admins which contains the current state of a running Designate service process.
Structure of a GMR¶
- Package
- Shows information about the package to which this process belongs, including version information
- Threads
- Shows stack traces and thread ids for each of the threads within this process
- Green Threads
- Shows stack traces for each of the green threads within this process (green threads don’t have thread ids)
- Processes
- Shows information about this process, including pid, ppid, uid and process state
- Configuration
- Lists all the configuration options currently accessible via the CONF object for the current process
Generate a GMR¶
A GMR can be generated by sending the USR2 signal to any Designate processes.
For example, suppose designate-central
has pid 15097
, kill -USR2
15097
will trigger a GMR.
If option logdir
has been set in designate.conf
, the GMR will be saved
in the folder which logdir
specified. Otherwise, the GMR will be printed to
the stderr.

Need a different version of Swift?
5.0
- Target your Podfile to the latest release or master4.2
- Target your Podfile to theswift4.2
branch
Quick Start
Position
is available for installation using the Cocoa dependency manager CocoaPods. Alternatively, you can simply copy the Position
source files into your Xcode project.
# CocoaPods
pod "Position", "~> 0.7.0"
# Carthage
github "piemonte/Position" ~> 0.7.0
# SwiftPM
let package = Package(
dependencies: [
.Package(url: "https://github.com/piemonte/Position", majorVersion: 0)
]
)
Usage
The sample project provides an example of how to integrate Position
, otherwise you can follow these steps.
Ensure your app’s Info.plist
file includes both a location usage description, required device capability “location-services”, and required background mode (if necessary).
See sample project for examples too.
Import the file and setup your component to be a PositionObserver, if you’d like it to be a delegate.
import Position
class ViewController: UIViewController, PositionObserver {
// ...
Have the component add itself as an observer and configure the appropriate settings.
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// ...
Position.shared.addObserver(self)
Position.shared.distanceFilter = 20
if Position.shared.locationServicesStatus == .allowedWhenInUse ||
Position.shared.locationServicesStatus == .allowedAlways {
Position.shared.performOneShotLocationUpdate(withDesiredAccuracy: 250) { (location, error) -> () in
print(location, error)
}
} else {
// request permissions based on the type of location support required.
Position.shared.requestWhenInUseLocationAuthorization()
// Position.shared.requestAlwaysLocationAuthorization()
}
}
Observe delegation, if necessary.
func position(position: Position, didChangeLocationAuthorizationStatus status: LocationAuthorizationStatus) {
// location authorization did change, often this may even be triggered on application resume if the user updated settings
}
Remember when creating location-based apps, respect the privacy of your users and be responsible for how you use their location. This is especially true if your application requires location permission kCLAuthorizationStatusAuthorizedAlways
.
To share a location using a vCard, simply call the vCard function on any location object instance.
let fileURL = location.vCard()

Tables in Microsoft Word
Microsoft Support: Create Accessible Tables
The video shown here, as well as the accompanying transcript, has been taken directly from the Microsoft Support Page, "Create accessible tables" as accessed 17 April 2019. The video and the transcript were both authored by Microsoft.
The Important Point: Tabbing
In essence, "true" tables allow users of assistive technology to tab over where they need to be. They are able to navigate the page much more quickly and accurately than waiting to get to a nominal point on an x-y axis. Both the layout table as a grid and actual table are kinds of grids, but because tables have "nodes" where users can tab to the cell elements, the tables are much, much friendlier to users of assistive technology than grids that do not have that ability to let a user tab through.
Tables By Type
Tables By Technology
Microsoft Transcript
Tables that include nested tables, split cells, or merged cells can trip up even the best screen-reading programs.
Here are a few ways to check the accessibility of your tables.
First, try navigating all the way through your table using only the Tab key.
If you can Tab smoothly through the table, cell by cell and row by row, a screen reader should have no trouble with it.
In English-language tables, the Tab key should move from left to right, starting in the top left cell and ending in the bottom right.
Next, consider the use of a designated header row for your table.
Designated header rows make it easier for a screen reader to navigate your table, and some screen readers will call out the name of a row or column before reading the data.
To designate a row as a header, select it, then right-click and select Table Properties.
Select the Row tab, and check Repeat as header row at the top of each page.
Also, be sure Allow row to break across pages is unchecked.
While you’ve got the Table Properties window open, it’s a good time to check your table’s alt text.
Select the Alt Text tab, and make sure the alt text is clear, descriptive, and concise.
Once your header row and alt text are ready, choose OK.
A common stumbling block for accessible tables are split cells, where two cells occupy the space of a single cell.
In this column, we’ve got a split cell that might cause problems for a screen reader.
To merge these split cells into a single cell, we’ll select them, right-click, and choose Merge Cells.

'How dare you': Offices hang photos of Greta Thunberg near single-use plastics
by News DeskA new trend is taking hold in Israel, and this time, it involves the famous Greta Thunberg, or at least, her picture.
Offices in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem have recently begun hanging up photos of Thunberg to remind employees not to use single-use plastics, reported the Independent. The photos, taken by journalist Allison K. Sommer, show Thunberg’s “judgmental” expression alongside quotes such as "How dare you" and "Are you sure?", and are placed in cafeterias, near plastic utensils and single-use coffee cups.

Thunberg is a 16-year-old Swedish environmental activist known for her work with the United Nations.
“People are suffering. People are dying. And all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you,” the activist said during one of her climate protest speeches.
Israel is currently the world’s second largest per capita consumer of single-use plastics, according to the Times of Israel. The trend, dubbed "Greta-shaming", began after Ikea Israel announced it would cease to provide single-use plastics by 2020.
The use of Thunberg’s photos to shame single-use plastic users has been met with both amusement and support around the world.
“I think this is great! Israel has a conscience and a sense of humor,” one person tweeted.
"I'll have to try that at work.... for a good laugh," said another. (vel/kes)


Mystery , strange , interesting , attractive .... What you feel when you think about those words? In fact, most people have the same idea. When we hear these words, we think of everything people could not imagine or believe in the world. In this way, people's sense of curiosity is activated. Our aim in making this page is to inform people about interesting things, places, people, animals in the world, in short everything that can come to our mind. People want to hear strange things, but most people don't want to bother searching for them.
On the other hand, we wanted to gather people who are interested in strange events and objects on this platform. People will be able to find information on the topics they want here. In addition, we have added a button with a wikipedia extension to the site for those who want to research or learn this information in more detail.

The Korowai tribe is one of the last known tribes in the world to have been cannibals.  There is talk that the practice is still carried out today, and some members of the tribe will state this. However others believe this claim is just for a good story to live up to the expectations by foreigners. Either way, the tribe still has a recent history of cannibalism.
Read MoreMANILA — Manila North Cemetery, opened in 1904, is one of the oldest and largest in the Philippines. Its elaborate mausoleums and endless rows of humble, stacked tombs are home to an estimated one million of the dead — and a few thousand of the living. The final resting place of presidents, movie stars and literary icons, the cemetery is also inhabited by some of Manila’s poorest people. Many live in the crypts and mausoleums of wealthy families, who pay them a stipend to clean and watch over them.

She wore one old black dress and undergarments that she changed only after they had been worn out; she did not wash her hands and she rode in an old carriage. She ate mostly pies that cost fifteen cents. One tale claims that Green spent half a night searching her carriage for a lost stamp worth two cents. Another asserts that she instructed her laundress to wash only the dirtiest parts of her dresses (the hems) to save money on soap

When he died in 2010 at the age of 79, he hadn't had a haircut in over 50 years. Also, Tran Van Hay had washed her hair only a few times during this period, the last time being 11 years ago.
Read MoreA Standing Baba, or Khareshwari, is a Hindu who has vowed to stand, not sitting or lying down even to sleep. The vow is a form of Hindu Tapa (or Tapasas), a self-inflicted corporal punishment intended to help bring spiritual enlightenment. Khareshwari are primarily found in India, but are not limited to that country. The length of the vow is unclear from available references. One source says that the vow lasts for twelve years. Other sources do not attach a specific time frame. Khareshwari traditionally stood under a tree. This may be connected to the Yoga position known as Vrikasana, the Tree Position. A seventeenth-century engraving shows some images of what may be Standing Baba. More recently Khareshwari seem to stand inside. Author Gregory David Roberts places Babas inside in his description of Khareshwari in the novel Shantaram.

Read MoreThe shoebill stork has, well ... a bill shaped like a shoe. Also of note about this amazing animal? Shoebills are abnormally tall, with some individuals reaching heights of over 4 feet. And, unlike many others birds who inhabit similar marsh environments, shoebills are highly effective predators. Their long legs are perfect for traversing shallow waters, where they prey on reptiles, rodents and fish. They are even known to strike against juvenile crocodiles! Shoebills use their powerful beaks to grasp and strangle just about anything they encounter, but don’t worry – they don’t prey on humans. Find one in East Africa, where their habitat is concentrated.
Read MoreJust as you can see through glass, you can see through the extraordinary glass frog. Many of these frogs have lime-green skin, but some lack any coloration on their underside, making their organs visible to the naked eye. Equally amazing are their spotted backs, which scientists speculate are meant to resemble eggs – so predators going after their offspring get confused. Your best chance of spotting this tree-dwelling frog is in Costa Rica or Panama. Costa Rica's Tortuguero National Park in particular promises a good chance of seeing one, in all its transparent glory.
Read MoreMantis shrimp are ancient, fierce and more than a little weird. Various forms of mantis shrimp have been around for an estimated 400 million years, and they aren’t like any other shrimp around. They are so freakishly strong that their appendages, called “clubs,” can smash crab shells and bust open clams. (Some varieties have spears rather than clubs, which are equally formidable.) These clubs can also be used to dish out around 500 punches in under a second, delivering enough force to break glass. And that's not all. Because these shrimp have incredible eyesight (they can see in two different directions at once), they strike with pinpoint accuracy. There are about 400 different species of mantis shrimp, the most dazzling-looking of which is undoubtedly the multi-hued peacock mantis shrimp, pictured here. The waters of Costa Rica and Bali are particularly rich with mantis shrimp; book a diving expedition to see one up close.
Read MoreThe axolotl salamander manages to be at once adorable and kind of disturbing. Though it develops legs, it never reaches land, instead spending its time strolling the underwater surface. Its nickname ? Walking fish. They are characterized by a unique set of external gills along with the ability to completely regrow lost limbs. This extraordinary creature – which comes in colors ranging from creamy white to olive – is only native to Mexico. Your best chance of seeing one exists near Mexico City in the lakes of Xochimilco. A population decline is largely attributed to habitat loss, but is also due to the fact that the axolotl is considered a culinary delicacy. (Yum?)
Read MoreInvertebrates that anchor on the seafloor are not uncommon, but sea pens possess a few standout features. For one thing, they look like an old-fashioned quill pen. For another, they behave in a completely remarkable way. Sea pens colonize in groups and, when stimulated, light up, displaying a bright green light on the seafloor. It looks like someone flipped on a light switch, especially when groups emit light in sequence. You can find these light displays in the Pacific Ocean, from the Gulf of Alaska to California. Sea pens live at depths of over 40 feet but often under 250 feet. When diving, look for mud and sandy-bottom sections of the ocean floor to spot them.
Read MoreJust as panda bears are notoriously cute, so too are panda ants.  But don’t underestimate them, as they might actually be more dangerous than the bears. Panda ants are found in Chile and Argentina, and the females are actually wingless wasps. This means they pack a serious punch with their sting. So if you see a cute little ant that looks like a panda in Chile or Argentina, whatever you do, don’t pick it up.
Read MoreOh, the mythical-looking narwhal! This is the closest creature (so far) that has similar features of the beloved unicorn. Unfortunately, these guys aren't easy to find either. They live in the Canadian Arctic, swimming throughout the Greenlandic and Russian waters. These creatures can live up to 50 years, with their main cause of death being suffocation — due to being trapped by sea ice. Like their other whale counterparts, they are quite large, ranging from 13 to 18 feet (excluding the tusk). They do not have a dorsal fin, but their impressive tusk can be as large as 10 feet. Male narwhals are typically the ones to grow a tusk, which is actually a canine tooth that comes from the left side of the upper jaw through the lip. Some males (about one in 500) have two tusks, while only about 15 percent of females tout the unusual trait.
Read MoreThe kinkajou is the only known tree-dwelling mammal unrelated to primates. Growing to about two feet in length and tipping the scales at just 10 pounds, these small mammals make their homes in forests from the Yucatan to the Amazon. Kinkajou use a prehensile tail to access and devour fruit high in the forest canopy. They are most active at night and can occasionally be spotted descending on rainforest resort patios like the one seen here at Sweet Songs Jungle Lodge in Belize.

Read MoreNey Cave is located about 6 km from the center of Guilin city in northwest China. It is a magnificent cave where one can witness the magnificent beauty of the long past of the world. Limestone formations, stalactites and stalagmites, different rock shapes in the limestone cave, which is 180 million years old and 240 meters deep, make the cave fascinating with the colorful lighting of the inside of the cave. The cave, which was unknown until 1940, was rediscovered after the refugees escaping from Japanese unions during the First World War and took refuge in this cave and today it has become one of the most tourist attractions in the Guilin region. Opened to the public in 1962, Reed Flute Cave is also known as the natural arts palace. What makes this place world famous is its unique structure and colorful enlightenment. The name of the cave was given due to the similarity of the stalactites to the flute, which is a musical instrument.

All are stories and legends that made the well the focus of everyone’s attention. The Damn Valley, or as it is called “Wadi Barhout,” is a valley located in Yemen, in Wadi Barhut, specifically in the Figut area of the Cargo Directorate in Al-Mahra Governorate, east of Yemen. This well is known for its many ambiguities, as there are many gossips about it. It was said that it was a well dug by the king of the jinn, and it was also mentioned that it was a muezzin for another life in a world completely isolated from the surface of the earth, and it was also mentioned that it consisted of the souls of the infidels on the earth. Therefore, there were some individual attempts to explore this well, and it was found that all attempts were unsuccessful, to keep its secret mysterious, and the width of the well is more than one hundred meters, while the depth of its bottom is about 250 meters. Many stories and stories are not documented about it, and many hadiths and statements of the Companions have been mentioned in some Islamic references about the name of this well, and it was mentioned that it contains the souls of the infidels and hypocrites.

It is a Sabaean temple dedicated to the moon god "Elmah", followed by the Awam Temple in terms of importance and is known locally as "the Amayed" Until 1988 AD, the temple was covered by the surrounding sand dunes, until its details buried under the sand were revealed by the results of archaeological excavations, and found that the temple consisted of various architectural units, the most important of which are the Holy of Holies and the front yard and their annexes, such as the Great Wall and the building of bricks and its subsidiary facilities. The architectural elements of the Bran temple in different periods of time since the beginning of the first millennium BC, and it seems that the temple is composed of a harmonious architectural unit in which the main entrance and the square meet with the high amphitheater in a way that suggests the splendor, beauty and greatness of the achievement. It should be noted that the throne witnessed an extensive restoration process over a period of four successive seasons, starting from 1997 AD to 2000 AD by the German Institute of Archeology, thus the temple became ready to receive tourists, and the construction of the temple went through two basic stages, the first from the end of the second millennium until the beginning of the first millennium BC and the second It began in the year 850 BC.

Constructor
new Debugger(objects, stateopt)
Add this class to any closure to provide control over the console output of debug data witin that closure. All objects specified will have a debug() method created automagically.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Attributes | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
objects |
object | Specify included objects as {key:object} pairs. |
||
state |
boolean |
<optional> |
false | Initial debug output state for all objects true=on false=off. |
- Source:
Examples
<script language="javascript">window.iDebugMode=true</script>
<script src="js/iDebugConsole.js""></script>
<script src="js/iDebugConsole.js""></script>
<script language="javascript">
this.debug('This will not be output to the console')
// Turn on global debugging
iDebugger.global(true)
// Global debugging my be controlled via the Debugger prototype as well
Debugger.prototype.global(true)
this.debug('This will be output to the console')
this.debug.warn('It supports all valid console methods')
</script>
The iDebugConsole window is disabled by default, output will be directed only to the native console window.
Although the iDebugConsole window has a vary small feature set compared to the native console there are a few
distinct advantages:
- It's faster.
- Embedded in your website on load.
- Each debug statement contains a stack trace.
- It does not reduce your device window size.
- It can be initialized in open or closed mode.
- It scales it's self to the device screen size.
- It can be dragged, resized, docked, or full screen on demand.
<script language="javascript">
// Enable the on screen output in closed mode (minimized).
iDebugger.initView('closed')
// Enable the on screen output window via the Debugger prototype
Debugger.prototype.initView('open')
</script>
Note:: When using the iDebugConsole output window, the output will also appear in the native browser console window,
but the location data will show a Debugger location. Corrected location data will be injected into each debug statement.
1) In your django settings file TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS must contain the debug context processor:
'django.core.context_processors.debug' (django < 1.8) or
'django.template.context_processors.debug' (django >= 1.8)
2) Make sure you have defined the setting INTERNAL_IPS = ('<IP_ADDRESS>',) add ip addresses as required.
3) In your HTML template file use the {{debug}} variable supplied by django's debug context processor
to set window.iDebugMode and load iDebugConsole.
{% if debug %}
<script language="javascript">window.iDebugMode=true</script>
{% endif %}
<script src="{% static "js/iDebugConsole.js" %}"></script>
{% if debug %}
<script language="javascript">window.iDebugMode=true</script>
<script src="{% static "js/iDebugConsole.js" %}"></script>
{% else %}
<script src="{% static "js/iDebugDummy.js" %}"></script>
{% endif %}
NOTE:: Alternatively just copy the contents of iDebugDummy.js and paste into the top of your javascript.
function MyClass (){
var ctrl = new Controller
var model = new Model(ctrl)
var view = new View(ctrl, model)
this.iDebug = new iDebugConsole.Debugger({model:model, view:view, ctrl:ctrl}, true)
// use the debugger like this
this.debug('This is the same as calling console.log()')
}
var myClass = new MyClass()
//turn off the MyClass debugger
myClass.iDebug.off()
//turn off the MyClass.model debugger only
myClass.iDebug.off('model')

OPENAT
Section: Linux Programmer's Manual (2)Updated: 2008-08-21
Index Return to Main Contents
NAME
openat - open a file relative to a directory file descriptorSYNOPSIS
#define _ATFILE_SOURCE #include <fcntl.h> int openat(int dirfd, const char *pathname, int flags); int openat(int dirfd, const char *pathname, int flags, mode_t mode);
DESCRIPTION
The openat() system call operates in exactly the same way as open(2), except for the differences described in this manual page.If the pathname given in pathname is relative, then it is interpreted relative to the directory referred to by the file descriptor dirfd (rather than relative to the current working directory of the calling process, as is done by open(2) for a relative pathname).
If pathname is relative and dirfd is the special value AT_FDCWD, then pathname is interpreted relative to the current working directory of the calling process (like open(2)).
If pathname is absolute, then dirfd is ignored.
RETURN VALUE
On success, openat() returns a new file descriptor. On error, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.ERRORS
The same errors that occur for open(2) can also occur for openat(). The following additional errors can occur for openat():- EBADF
- dirfd is not a valid file descriptor.
- ENOTDIR
- pathname is relative and dirfd is a file descriptor referring to a file other than a directory.
VERSIONS
openat() was added to Linux in kernel 2.6.16.CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1-2008. A similar system call exists on Solaris.NOTES
openat() and other similar system calls suffixed "at" are supported for two reasons.First, openat() allows an application to avoid race conditions that could occur when using open(2) to open files in directories other than the current working directory. These race conditions result from the fact that some component of the directory prefix given to open(2) could be changed in parallel with the call to open(2). Such races can be avoided by opening a file descriptor for the target directory, and then specifying that file descriptor as the dirfd argument of openat().
Second, openat() allows the implementation of a per-thread "current working directory", via file descriptor(s) maintained by the application. (This functionality can also be obtained by tricks based on the use of /proc/self/fd/dirfd, but less efficiently.)

A tentative plan, 20 Jan 2004
(discussion on the mailing list<EMAIL_ADDRESS>During vacation I thought about some changes that I might like to make to SQLObject. Several of these change the API, but not too drastically, and I think they change the API for the better. And we'd not at 1.0 yet, changes are still allowed! Here's my ideas...
Taken from Modeling, the "editing context" is essentially a transaction, though it also encompasses some other features. Typically it is used to distinguish between separate contexts in a multi-threaded program.
This is intended to separate several distinct concepts:
Example:
from SQLObject import EditingContext ec = EditingContext() # every editing context automatically picks up all the SQLObject # classes, all magic like. person = ec.Person.get(1) # by ID ec2 = EditingContext() # separate transaction person2 = ec.Person.get(1) assert person is not person2 assert person.id == person2.id assert person.fname == 'Guy' person.fname = 'Gerald' assert person2.fname == 'Guy' ec.commit() # SQL is not sent to server assert person2.fname == 'Guy' # Doesn't see changes person2.fname = 'Norm' # raises exception if locking is turned on; overwrites if locking # is not turned on. (Locking enabled on a per-class level)
I'm not at all sure about that example. Mostly the confusing parts relate to locking and when the database lookup occurs (and how late a conflict exception may be raised).
Somewhere in here, process-level transactions might fit in. That is, even on a backend that doesn't support transactions, we can still delay SQL statements until a commit/rollback is performed. In turn, we can create temporary "memory" objects, which is any object which hasn't been committed to the database in any way. To do this we'll need sequences -- to preallocate IDs -- which MySQL and SQLite don't really provide :(
Nested transactions...? Maybe they'd fall out of this fairly easily, especially if we define a global context, with global caches etc., then further levels of context will come for free.
We still need to think about an auto-commit mode. Maybe the global context would be auto-commit.
Really doing transactions right means making caching significantly more complex. If the cache is purely transaction-specific, then we'll really be limiting the effectiveness of the cache. With that in mind, a copy-on-write style of object is really called for -- when you fetch an object in a transaction, you can use the globally cached instance until you write to the object.
Really this isn't copy-on-write, it's more like a proxy object. Until the object is changed, it can delegate all its columns to its global object for which it is a proxy. Of course, traversal via foreign keys or joins must also return proxied objects. As the object is changed -- perhaps on a column-by-column basis, or as a whole on the first change -- the object takes on the personality of a full SQLObject instance.
When the transaction is committed, this transactional object copies itself to the global object, and becomes a full proxy. These transactional caches themselves should be pooled -- so that when another transaction comes along you have a potentially useful set of proxy objects already created for you. This is a common use case for web applications, which have lots of short transactions, which are often very repetitive.
In addition to this, there should be more cache control. This means explicit ways to control things like:
Expose some methods of the cache, like getting all objects currently in memory. These would probably be exposed on a class level, e.g., all the Addresses currently in memory via Address.cache.current() or something. What about when there's a cached instance in the parent context, but not in the present transaction?
Each column will become a descriptor. That is, Col and subclasses will return an object with __get__ and __set__ methods. The metaclass will not itself generate methods.
A metaclass will still be used so that the descriptor can be tied to its name, e.g., that with fname = StringCol(), the resultant descriptor will know that it is bound to fname.
By using descriptors, introspection should become a bit easier -- or at least more uniform with respect to other new-style classes. Various class-wide indexes of columns will still be necessary, but these should be able to remain mostly private.
To customize getters or setters (which you currently do by defining a _get_columnName or _set_columnName method), you will pass arguments to the Col object, like:
def _get_name(self, dbGetter): return dbGetter().strip() name = StringCol(getter=_get_name)
This gets rid of _SO_get_columnName as well. We can transitionally add something to the metaclass to signal an error if a spurious _get_columnName method is sitting around.
Currently you fetch an object with class instantiation, e.g., Address(1). This may or may not create a new instance, and does not create a table row. If you want to create a table row, you do something like Address.new(city='New York', ...). This is somewhat in contrast to normal Python, where class instantiation (calling a class) will create a new object, while objects are fetched otherwise (with no particular standard interface).
To make SQLObject classes more normal in this case, new will become __init__ (more or less), and classes will have a get method that gets an already-existant row. E.g., Address.get(1) vs. Address(city='New York', ...). This is perhaps the most significant change in SQLObject usage. Because of the different signatures, if you forget to make a change someplace you will get an immediate exception, so updating code should not be too hard.
People have increasingly used SQLObject to create tables, and while it can make a significant number of schemas, there are several extensions of table generation that people occasionally want. Since these occur later in development, it would be convenient if SQLObject could grow as the complexity of the programs using it grow. Some of these extensions are:
Some of these may be globally defined, or defined for an entire database. For example, typically you'll want to use a common MySQL table type for your entire database, even though its defined on a per-table basis. And while MySQL allows global permission declarations, Postgres does not and requires tedious repetitions of the permissions for each table -- so while it's applied on a per-table basis, it's likely that (at least to some degree) a per-database declaration is called for. Naming schemes are also usually database-wide.
As these accumulate -- and by partitioning this list differently, the list could be even longer -- it's messy to do these all as special class variables (_idName, etc). It also makes the class logic and its database implementation details difficult to distinguish. Some of these can be handled elegantly like id = StringCol() or id = ("fname", "lname"). But the others perhaps should be put into a single instance variable, perhaps itself a class:
class Address(SQLObject): class SQLMeta: mysqlType = 'InnoDB' naming = Underscore permission = {'bob': ['select', 'insert'], 'joe': ['select', 'insert', 'update'], 'public': ['select']} street = StringCol() ....
The metadata is found by its name (SQLMeta), and is simply a container. The class syntax is easier to write and read than a dictionary-like syntax. Or, it could be a proper class/instance and provide a partitioned way to handle introspection. E.g., Address.SQLMeta.permission.get('bob') or Address.SQLMeta.columns. In this case values that weren't overridden would be calculated from defaults (like the default naming scheme and so on).
I'm not at all certain about how this should look, or if there are other things that should go into the class-meta-data object.
First, the poorly-named MultipleJoin and RelatedJoin (which are rather ambiguous) will be renamed ManyToOneJoin and ManyToManyJoin. OneToOneJoin will also be added, while ForeignKey remains the related column type. (Many2Many? Many2many? many2many?)
ForeignKey will be driven by a special validator/converter. (But will this make ID access more difficult?)
Joins will return smart objects which can be iterated across. These smart objects will be related to SelectResults, and allow the same features like ordering. In both cases, an option to retrieve IDs instead of objects will be allowed.
These smarter objects will allow, in the case of ManyToManyJoin, Set like operations to relate (or unrelate) objects. For ManyToOneJoin the list/set operations are not really appropriate, because they would reassign the relation, not just add or remove relations.
It would be nice to make the Join protocol more explicit and public, so other kinds of joins (e.g., three-way) could be more accessible.
Hi Ian:)
This really sound strange for me. Despite i used Modeling for over 2 years now, I'm wondering why you want to have the same thing in SQLObject.
Should SLQObject have the same API than Modeling, or MiddleKit ?
I really think SQLObject is good for what it tend to be: 'fetching raw in the DB','caching results' and 'saving them when needed'. Modeling is far more complex, with its validation scheme, nested editing context and so on ..
Beside i'm not a SQLObject developper, i don't really understand why you again try to _clone_ the EOF. If you really want this kind of stuff, why you don't help Modeling guy (Big) which (i really think) will be happy to count a new developper. (the team is quite small right now)
-- Random things: ---
-In the EOF there is some qualifier for fetching objects so ec.Person.get(1) really sound strange.
- The major reason why i like SQLobject it's because it do what it should. There is nothing magic about it. Simply caching by IDs. So now, if you try to write a application that use the a DB Api which do a lot of magic, like 'nested' Editing Context. This is far more complex, because you need to think about 'in which context i'm', 'is this object is my parent Ec ?' and so on .. this is why I now use SQLObject over Modeling. I need something simple, thread safe ..
- And anyway, if you really want to do something like this, take a look closer at the Modeling API. To insert a new object in DB, simply add it too the Editing Condext and ec.save() it. no new() magic ..
Bye Bye..
The only change I'm suggesting like Modeling is the editing context, which seems like a more elegant way to deal with transactions than SQLObject's current implementation of pseudo-connections (which is a kind of confusing API). This doesn't change SQLObject dramatically, and wouldn't effect most of the code internally. And given that change, SQLObject would still be very different than Modeling.# Ian Bicking
But EditingContext is the core of the modeling. Caching, fetching.. is done in the EditingContext. Could you explain what will be the difference ?
I'm not planning on taking the EditingContext from Modeling wholesale, it just happens to be a good metaphor. The actual API will probably be significantly different. And, in some cases (like getting and storing objects) I specifically don't plan to do it like Modeling.
The actual API I will implement? I don't know, I haven't figured that out yet ;)# Ian Bicking
Can ID be compound object? For example for replication I can create primary key
(DB_instance_ID, row_ID). SLQObject can work with such table?# dvb
Greetings - I just cooked up my first example objects with the current .5x stream of SQLObject and was nicely rewarded. I love the table schema generation - one of the things I've always loathed was maintaining the table/object mapping metadata in two different places.
I'm really shocked at how liberating this is! ;)
I've done a number low to middle complexity solutions using "ORM" (tuxweb.de) as well as Titus Brown's Cucumber solution (which makes elegant use of Postgresql inheritance, but is therefore not portable to other systems. I rather like the API in SQLObject; a quick comparison of current performance shows it to be somewhat more efficient at some common tasks, and easy to side step when required.
Just going to check out the new work in subversion and see how that compares.
Mike# Mike Watkins
For the extra table information, I think it would also be useful to have a way to change the Character Set. I'm not sure if that is included in InnoDB, but I thought I'd mention it just in case.# Brian Cooley-Gilliom

Last updated: October 15, 2018
Accessibility is a core value and design component of Fulcrum. We are dedicated to creating inclusive services and content for all readers, and are constantly working to make Fulcrum and its content as accessible and usable as possible.
The Fulcrum platform aims to meet the latest WCAG 2 AA Standards (currently WCAG 2.1 AA) in both the platform and its content by providing infrastructure and resources to support accessible books, image descriptions, transcripts for audio, captions for video, and alternative formats for digitized content.
The extent to which Fulcrums meets WCAG 2.0 and Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act is measured and reported in Fulcrum's Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) Version 2.1.
Accessibility features, compatibility, and known issues are also summarized on this page.
Narrative and Roadmap
From June to August 2018, Michigan Publishing and Fulcrum worked with Luke Kudryashov through the Rackham Public Engagement Fellowship program to conduct an accessibility evaluation of the Fulcrum platform. Building on the previous usability testing, Luke completed a VPAT 2.1 by testing the platform with the use of assistive technology, documented additional accessibility and usability issues, and also worked with Emma DiPasquale, the Fulcrum community manager, to provide more detailed accessibility documentation for the Fulcrum website.
From January to March 2018, in collaboration with Michigan State University Usability and Accessibility Research Consulting, Fulcrum was tested by assistive technology users, identifying usability and accessibility issues, which we are actively working to address. Some of these include: usability issues for assistive technology; missing image descriptions for assistive technology navigation; and missing captions and transcripts for video and audio content.
Compatibility
Screen Reader Compatibility
Fulcrum should be compatible with most major screen readers, but is optimized for use with NVDA in Firefox. New features are tested with NVDA in Firefox and VoiceOver in Safari. Fulcrum should be compatible with recent versions of the following screen readers:
The site should also be compatible with:
- basic operating system screen magnifiers and contrast settings
- accessibility browser extensions, such as Read Aloud (text to speech), Zoom Text Only (magnifier), and High Contrast for Chrome
- speech recognition software
- operating system speech packages
Known issues
For readers using NVDA:
- When changing location in the Fulcrum E-Reader using the navigation slider, each location is read only as a number. This number indicates the percentage of progress through the book (out of 100%).
- In the Fulcrum E-Reader, books containing embedded media have links that read as “Fulcrum logo” rather than the name of the media element. These links will take you to the media page for each embedded image, video, or audio file.
- In the Fulcrum E-Reader, alt-text image descriptions will be read when the embedded image is selected via the TAB key, but will not be read automatically via continuous reading. Alt-text image descriptions can be accessed by selecting the embedded image via keyboard controls or by following the link to the full image media page.
- In the Fulcrum E-Reader, when searching inside the text of a book and following a search result, the matched term in the text is indicated on the page only through visual highlighting of the matched text, but the excerpts and chapter locations are accessible through screen reader technology.
- Screen reader users are not notified when moving between pages in the Fulcrum E-Reader.
- In the monograph catalog or book title pages, “Table of Contents” is the default tab. To get to other tabs on that page, navigate to the “Table of Contents” heading and press the right arrow key.
- In the media pages, “Info” is the default tab. To get to others tabs, navigate to the “Info” heading and press the right arrow key.
For readers using VoiceOver:
- In the Fulcrum E-Reader, if reading from the top in Safari, VoiceOver freezes on the permalink field in the top left hand side without continuing to read the main text. To avoid this issue, use VoiceOver with Google Chrome or Firefox or press “tab” on your keyboard to get to the main text rather than reading the entire page with VoiceOver.
- In the Fulcrum E-Reader, when changing text size in reader preferences (nested under the settings button in top right hand corner), the percentage is read as out of 100% not the percentage by which text size is actually enlarged. The default text size is 100% but is read by VoiceOver as 14%. 200% is read by VoiceOver as 43%, 300% as 71%, and 400% as 100%.
- When changing the location in the Fulcrum E-Reader through the bottom navigation slider, VoiceOver does not read the correct location. To find out the accurate current location in the text, press “tab” once to have VoiceOver read the label under the scroll bar.
- When the focus in the Fulcrum E-Reader is on a piece of embedded content such as a video or image, the VoiceOver rotor only recognizes the media controls as links. To access the other links and menu buttons through the rotor, navigate away from the embedded piece of media first.
Keyboard Compatibility
- In the Fulcrum E-Reader, all of the pages, and media content such as videos, audio, and images should be accessible via standard keyboard controls only (no use of a mouse required).
- Standard keyboard controls include:
- TAB to move through links and buttons
- SHIFT+TAB to go back to a previous link or button
- ENTER to select
- Stats charts and some specialized content such as 3D models cannot be controlled via keyboard.
- Left and right arrow keys in the Fulcrum E-Reader provide shortcuts for easy page flipping or scrolling.
- Using scroll mode in the Fulcrum E-Reader, Page Up and Page Down and up and down arrow keys also allow for page scrolling.
- The default video player shortcuts are as follows:
- Alt + Control + p or spacebar = Play/Pause
- Alt + Control + s = Restart
- Alt + Control + r = Rewind
- Alt + Control + f = Forward
- Alt + Control + v or 1-9 = Volume
- Alt + Control + m = Mute/Unmute
- Alt + Control + c = Hide captions
- Escape = Close current dialog or popup menu
(The modifier keys can be changed through video keyboard settings.)
Known issues
For readers using keyboard only:
- Video transcripts are keyboard accessible in Firefox but not in Chrome, Edge, or Safari (make sure “Keyboard-enable transcript” is selected in video transcript preferences).
- In the Fulcrum E-Reader, pressing TAB to enter the text of the book takes the focus back to the first link in the chapter, rather than the first link on the currently opened page.
- In the Fulcrum E-Reader, the TAB key moves through each of the video player controls for videos embedded in the text, but the controls remain hidden unless the mouse hovers over the player. The navigation is not trapped and will move onto the next link or button after moving through all of the controls. Following is a list of video controls in order: open video in new tab (with expanded accessibility features), play, restart, rewind, forward, timeline slider, volume, slower, faster, hide captions, preferences.
Features
- Users can choose between page-by-page and scroll view in the Fulcrum E-Reader.
- AblePlayer video and audio player has the capability for captions, audio descriptions, and transcripts, though not all publishers may provide these features. The caption font, size, color, and location can be adjusted in the player settings.
- Image descriptions are enabled for screen readers through alt-text attributes (when provided by publisher).
- While there is no built-in text-to-speech feature, screen readers and text-to-speech browser extensions such as Read Aloud for Chrome should work with the Fulcrum E-Reader as well as all of the book, publisher, and media pages.
For readers with low vision:
- In the Fulcrum E-Reader, text can be zoomed up to 400% through the preferences menu. Switching to scroll view is recommended when enlarging the text as this will shift the text from two columns to one.
- Operating system text zoom and font accessibility settings and browser extensions such as Zoom Text Only for Chrome should work with all of the other text on book, publisher, and media pages, as well as the menu bars in the Fulcrum E-Reader.
- The video player offers a full screen view and the image viewer offers a zoom function.
- The video player supports user control of caption settings, including toggle, position, font, size, text color, background, and opacity as well as user control of audio description (when captions and audio descriptions provided by publisher).
- Operating system contrast accessibility features and browser extensions such as High Contrast for Chrome should work with the Fulcrum E-Reader in addition to all other Fulcrum pages.
Creating accessible content
Fulcrum provides hosting for a number of different publishers. Accessible content is the primary responsibility of each publisher and we work with them to support and improve the accessibility of their content. Our initiatives include partnering in the development of projects such as the Describing Visual Resources Toolkit.
Get help and provide feedback
We are continuing to develop accessibility features and welcome suggestions on how to make the platform more accessible and user-friendly. If you are having trouble using Fulcrum, please let us know using the feedback form so we can improve your experience.
Our accessibility development work is publicly available and can be tracked in our issue tracker for Fulcrum. If you need to be provided with an accessible version of a book or need other assistance, please email fulcrum-info@umich.edu.

Kodes
After creating rewriter I received a request at work asking if there was a simple way to test errors views on the front-end code we do at Betfair. As I did not have any real idea at the time, I wrote a dead simple ruby application hosted on my machine to return an HTTP error code, so the front-end would display the correct error messages. It seemed it was a good idea and I improved it by creating kodes.
Kodes is a simple pure ruby application running on
Sinatra and hosted, once again on heroku. As it says on the tin: kodes is a simple service that allows you to test that your applications handle HTTP response codes properly.
So all you have to do is to send a request to http://kodes.ekynoxe.com/k/<your-code> and it *should* return the corresponding HTTP status code in the response, along with a description of the code itself, as per the HTTP/1.1 specifications.
Now, I say *should* because some status codes like the 1xx family simply instruct browsers to keep going with a request. All browsers should comply with this and not do anything until another response like a 2xx or 4xx is received. The bad news is that you won’t see a snazzy description page like this one for the 306 code (unused!), but if you use curl (or any other http request library that is NOT a browser), you should see the response with the correct status code:
$ curl -0v http://kodes.ekynoxe.com/k/306
Also, the code is hosted on github at https://github.com/ekynoxe/kodes
I hope this is as helpful to you that it is to our teams of developers here! Enjoy.

One night I was browsing online because I had nothing better to do and I came across a few reports of people getting a 'mild buzz' off 5-HTP. Well seeing as I had 5-HTP and nothing better to do I decided to take a bunch. I popped 12 50mg capsules and within 45 mins I felt slightly out of it. About an hour and a half after taking them I felt considerably messed up and quickly got bored of this very pukey buzz.
Normally I would have just smoked some pot to feel better but seeing as I didnít have any I decided to jus get realy friggin drunk and try to forget about it......HUGE mistake. Iím a 16 year old kid I have absolutley no tolerance to alchohol, I can get pretty drunk off 5 beers. After beer number 4 I was completely gone, the buzz was a lot different then just drinking without the 5-HTP. After my 7th beer my nausea had completely vanished and I had become 'zombified' for lack of a better word. For some reason I jus couldnít stop drinking. I remember throwing up at one point then I just started drinking again (I donít know what the hell I was thinking). Anyway I woke up in the hospital, my mom was there, she was pretty pissed at me. I havent had a beer since I never again wanna drink. This was by far the most horrible experience of my life.

Glastonbury in numbers: 50 years at Worthy Farm
Here are some facts and figures about Britain’s most famous festival, Glastonbury, which next year will celebrate 50 years since it was founded.
– The 2020 festival is the 37th Glastonbury, after the event began in 1970.
Originally named the Pilton Festival, it has observed regular fallow years to allow the farmland to recover.
– Attendees often complain about the price of tickets but the inaugural event cost just £1.
Admission came with free milk from founder Michael Eavis’s dairy farm.
– The price of a ticket to next year’s event is £265 plus a £5 booking fee.
Profits will be split between the charities Oxfam, WaterAid and Greenpeace.
– Tickets for 2020 sold out in 34 minutes last month.
That is two minutes less than last year. Coach package tickets were snapped up in under 30 minutes.
– Some 135,000 tickets are believed to have been sold to the general public.
The site is expected to host 200,000 festival-goers, cast and crew over the five-day event.
– In 2020 the site is expected to cover 900 acres in the Vale of Avalon in Somerset.
The inaugural event in 1970 took place on land owned solely by the Eavis family.
– There will be as many as 2,800 performances during the festival.
They will range from stadium-sized headline slots on the Pyramid Stage to intimate acoustic gigs in the Rabbit Hole.
– Last year Glastonbury hosted 79 stages across numerous areas.
Each had its own identity, with many being curated by individual teams.
– Roughly 400 food stalls will trade across the festival site.
The festival hosts annual trader awards focused on sustainability, and winners are offered free or affordable pitches at the next event.
– There were 40,000 bins at last year’s festival.
Many of those had been individually painted by a team of volunteers.
– Despite this, the clean-up following the 2017 edition of the festival cost £785,000.
The six-day operation came after festival organisers urged attendees to take their rubbish home with them.
– No single-use plastic bottles were sold at the festival in 2018.
Neither were they available in the backstage areas, though many of those attending the event took them to the site.


Ever tried fishing or hunting? Well Maine's filled with many activities, but these two are essential survival for life in the woods alone.
What do you typically do on the weekends or week days in the morning? Well in Maine it's a great hobby/habit many of us have is to wake up fresh and early. Then start the day off with catching dinner for the night. It's a great feeling and can save some money.
Hunting's going to be a little difficult because you'll need a hunting license, but it's not really the licence that's the problem. It's usually having land to hunt on. Some owners allow locals and other enthusiast hunters on their lands just as long as you respect, and don't ruin the property and the animal population.
Hunting's a great hobby many Mainer's participate in. I only ask as a Mainer that you eat what you kill.
Here's the official Hunting and fishing website of Maine's laws and restrictions.

The base R data.frame, like any vector, is copied upon modification. This behavior is at odds with that of GUIs and interactive graphics. To rectify this, plumbr provides a mutable, dynamic tabular data model. Models may be chained together to form the complex plumbing necessary for sophisticated graphical interfaces. Also included is a general framework for linking datasets; an typical use case would be a linked brush.

The Jane-Austen-goes-to-Hollywood craze has subsided, but Austen has a replacement, it seems, in Henry James; with last fall's "Portrait of a Lady, and this fall's "Wings of the Dove," "Washington Square" represents one of three James novels to hit the silver screen lately. But though the treatment of them by Hollywood may be superficially similar--sumptuous costumes, elaborate sets, a liberal dose of British acting--James and Austen could hardly be more different: whereas Austen's novels are largely comedies with some character development but little social critique (Austen's villains are products of the same milieu as her heroes, and their failings tend to be conventional human faults rather than anything emblematic of their societies), James generally has different priorities. Put another way, one can rely on the plot to keep the audience entertained in an adaptation of an Austen film, but taking James' stories as a basis for a film is less than a sure thing.
Director Agnieszka Holland accordingly takes some liberties with "Washington Square," though far fewer than Jane Campion's "Portrait"--and, as it happens, far more successfully. The story is fairly simple: Catherine Sloper (Jennifer Jason Leigh), plain and shy, falls for penniless socialite Morris Townsend (Ben Chaplin), but her father Austin (Albert Finney), suspecting that Morris is out for Catherine's considerable wealth, threatens to disinherit her should the two marry. This is the stuff of countless uninteresting films and novels, on the one hand, but James has more in mind than the average writer, and the plot reflects it; the focus is as much on the illusions associated with romantic love as on its virtues, and the father is as compelling--and, in a way, as sympathetic--as the suitor. And Holland, in her turn, puts her stamp on the story; what was a fairly pessimistic ending becomes more hopeful, with a distinctly feminist element. The initial scene, set up by a skillful and elaborate tracking shot, depicts Catherine's birth and her mother's resulting death, and Holland illustrates in it the relationship that is central to the film.
Leigh has, to say the least, played a motley crew of neurotics and damaged souls--but it is here, where her scars are displayed by facial tics and barely visible body language, that her acting genuinely shines. Whereas in films like "Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle" and "Georgia" she was given room to express pain loudly and angrily, there are few such moments here--but those few moments (at the reading of her father's will, following Morris' carriage along a muddy street) are all the more effective. When she declines Morris' invitation to dance, her movements--looking down, twisting away--say as much as any lines could. Leigh's delivery has been described as "lockjaw"--a promising career in ventriloquism awaits her should she give up acting--but the murmuring serves to reinforce her character's shyness here. Her awkwardness is equally well realized; in dropping a pile of papers and clumsily scrambling around picking them up, she conveys the humiliation of the moment. Leigh's face is immensely expressive; watching her closely yields real insight into her character's conflicts. And she does manage to develop the character over the course of the film; her final confrontation with her father is both dramatic and thoroughly believable.
The other performances are, mostly, strong. Finney goes well beyond conventional father-villain in portraying Austin: though we see his limitations, we also see where they come from. His grief for his wife keeps him from relating to his daughter fully: the gulf between them is established in the first scene and reinforced in a variety of ways thereafter. But the audience never doubts the genuineness of his grief, nor that his distance from his daughter saddens him. This is a flawed character, not a monster, and there is much more to his resistance to Catherine's marriage than malice. Chaplin, for his part, does well with the ambiguities of his character--though the final revelation is not as believable as it might be, and the concluding scene between Morris and Catherine feels a bit incongruous, it is possible throughout to understand how Catherine can see him as a good-hearted boy while her father considers him a parasite. Maggie Smith is as effective as usual as Catherine's fluttery, sentimental Aunt Lavinia, though her character has little to do with the central plot and sometimes feels more like a device for comic relief.
The appeal of "Washington Square," particularly for those who want something more than authentic costumes and backdrops in a period piece, lies in the way it subverts expectations. Catherine begins the film as an awkward wallflower, but, for once, that is not a signal that she will soon become a society belle; though her confidence grows as the film progresses, she is recognizably the somewhat clumsy, homely girl. Points for realism, at any rate. Moreover, this is not a story of tragically denied lovers, though it may seem so at first; rather, it focuses firmly on Catherine and the various treacheries and cruelties that she deals with. The result, though slow in coming, is intriguing. Finney's character is central to many of the surprises; his real feelings regarding his daughter are not obvious until well along in the proceedings, but when they become apparent, the real focus of the story shifts somewhat. Holland's visuals are particularly effective; she uses stark, even brutal, images to reinforce her point, for instance when Austin discovers Catherine secretly modeling a wedding gown, or in the young Catherine's humiliation at a birthday recital. Though one is miscalculated--a showdown between Catherine and Austin atop a rocky peak in the Alps--most are effective, and the cinematography, mostly, fits the screenplay well.
It has been observed that, as is often the case with James, the conflict between love and money predominates--but it's not clear that that's the real point here. Certainly, that conflict is the source of much of the plot, but arguably it masks the real tension, between a daughter too old to be kept at home and a father whose opinion of her is so low that he refuses to believe that she can make a viable life for herself. As it stands, love and money are not genuinely in conflict--there is sufficient money for Catherine to leave and marry Morris, were that the entirety of the problem. Moreover, Morris does, eventually, land a job, satisfying Austin's request that he make something of himself. But the problem persists, and as we see no evidence that Austin is by nature a miser, it seems logical to look deeper, at what truly motivates him. As usual with James, there are hidden motivations at stake; the "money" angle is relevant, though not in entirely expected ways, but more vital is Austin's inability to see Catherine as anything other than an awkward, insecure girl.
Though the ending of "Washington Square" is satisfying, it also provides one of the film's major flaws, in that the script seems to rush to its conclusion. After a climactic scene between Catherine and Morris, there is little further resolution of either character--at least, not on screen--and we are forced to infer most of what happens after that. It could be argued that subsequent events are obvious, but it would have been nice to see them--if for no other reason than to see how Leigh handles them--and it's a bit jarring when a rather deliberately paced film suddenly speeds up.
On the whole, though, this is a strong adaptation that captures many of the most important elements of the novel but also gives the plot a contemporary twist. Memorable chiefly for Leigh's portrayal of Catherine, "Washington Square" deserves recognition for being something other than a conventional period piece, in style and in plot.
