2019 December, the alarming raise of infection counts in people were rapdily growing in Wuhan district of China.
The world is yet to succumb into a major outbreak, a global pandemic with millions in death tolls, and hundreds of millions of infection counts world wide.
A global locadown, a world wide travel ban, country-wide lockdowns shutting down of largest economies millions of people losing jobs and the global society struggling to recover to a new normal.
Cure?
Amongst all the odds the human will to survive is prevailant, a global collective effort to mitigate the crsis spearheaded by World Health Organisation, and many institutional effort to develop vaccine.
As of writing this post the world is still to witness the development of a vaccine many of the potential candidates are in Phase 3 of clinical trials.

Six months into a new decade, 2020 has already been earmarked as ‘the worst’ year in the 21st century. The novel coronavirus has given rise to a global pandemic that has destabilized most institutional settings. While we live in times when humankind possesses the most advanced science and technology, a virus invisible to the naked eye has massively disrupted economies, healthcare, and education systems worldwide. This should serve as a reminder that as we keep making progress in science and research, humanity will continue to face challenges in the future, and it is upon us to prioritize those issues that are most relevant in the 21st century.
Even amidst the pandemic, Space X, an American aerospace manufacturer, managed to become the first private company to send humans to space. While this is a tremendous achievement and prepares humanity for a sustainable future, I feel there is a need to introspect the challenges that we are already facing. On the one hand, we seem to be preparing beyond the 21st century. On the other hand, heightened nationalism, increasing violence against marginalized communities and multidimensional inequalities across all sectors continue to act as barriers to growth for most individuals across the globe. COVID-19 has reinforced these multifaceted economic, social and cultural inequalities wherein those in situations of vulnerability have found it increasingly difficult to get quality medical attention, access to quality education, and have witnessed increased domestic violence while being confined to their homes.
Given the coronavirus’s current situation, some households have also had time to introspect on gender roles and stereotypes. For instance, women are expected to carry out unpaid care work like cooking, cleaning, and looking after the family. There is no valid reason to believe that women ought to carry out these activities, and men have no role in contributing to household chores. With men having shared household chores during the lockdown period, it gives hope that they will realize the burden that women have been bearing for past decades and will continue sharing responsibilities. However, it would be naïve to believe that gender discrimination could be tackled so easily, and men would give up on their decades' old habits within a couple of months. Thus, during and after the pandemic, there is an urgent need to sensitize households on the importance of gender equality and social cohesion.
Moving forward, developing quality healthcare systems that are affordable and accessible to all should be the primary objective for all governments. This can be done by increasing expenditure towards health and education and simultaneously reducing expenditure on defence equipment where the latter mainly gives rise to an idea that countries need to be prepared for violence. There is substantial evidence that increased investment in health and education is beneficial in the long-term and can potentially build the basic foundation of a country.
If it can be established that usage of nuclear weapons, violence and war are not solutions to any problem, governments (like, for example, Costa Rica) could move towards disarmament of weapons and do their part in building a more peaceful planet that is sustainable for the future. This would further promote global citizenship wherein nationality, race, gender, caste, and other categories, are just mere variables and they do not become identities of individuals that restrict their thought process. The aim should be to build responsible citizens who play an active role in their society and work collectively in helping develop a planet that is well-governed, inclusive, and environmentally sustainable.
‘A year after Coronavirus’ is still an unknown, so I think that our immediate focus should be to tackle the complex problems that have emerged from the pandemic so that we make the year after coronavirus one which highlights recovery and acts as a pathway to fresh beginnings. While there is little to gain from such a fatal cause, it is vital that we also use it to make the ‘new normal’ in favour of the environment and ensure that no one is left behind.

An event that tests the capability of cantilevered structure over its longitudinal length and stability made with plastic straws.
A cantilever is a rigid structural element, such as a beam or a plate, anchored at one end to a (usually vertical) support from which it protrudes; this connection could also be perpendicular to a flat, vertical surface such as a wall. Cantilevers can also be constructed with trusses or slabs. When subjected to a structural load, the cantilever carries the load to the support where it is forced against by a moment and shear stress. Cantilever construction allows overhanging structures without external bracing, in contrast to constructions supported at both ends with loads applied between the supports, such as a simply supported beam found in a post and lintel system.


Where: Amsterdam, The Netherlands, Europe
When: 20th March 2004 (7PM-8AM)
What: 5 grams of pressed cocaine in lumps (EUR 250) and lots of beer (I'm not on any medication or smoke)
Who: 5 males, ages 21-30, mostly students, one is a good friend of mine (alles slecht?) and the rest are his friends whom I didn't know
Why: A friend's birthday, curious and 'You only live once'.
My personal drug history in a nutshell:
Absinthe: some but no hallucinogenic effects
Alcohol: quite extensive field experience
Caffeine: just tea (and see Red Bull!)
Cannabis: irregularly for the past 6 years
Ephedra: 7 times, double doses
Guarana: 20 times, one fat overdose
Mushrooms (Hawaiian and Mexican): 7 times
Nitrous: 2 times
Red-Bull Energy drink: had 14 in one night == strung out in the morning
2-ct-7: 2 times, pretty light, happy trip
As you can see I've only had 'soft' stimulating drugs and wasn't really planning on trying E, speed or Coke. I think those drugs are relatively straightforward drugs and not in anyway intellectually challenging for the mind as hallucinogens can be. But this friend of mine was going to have his birthday and I heard from quite a lot of people I know they took coke. I also witnessed friends of mine taking it, I refused a couple of times.
This time, I thought: what the heck, you only live once and how good can it be, cuz it's just simple and I like complex. My motivation wasn't (and still isn't) exactly clear to myself so I'll summarize it by saying I just felt like it. I dislike the possibility of me doing coke out of peer-pressure. So, there we were in the centre of Amsterdam, getting ready for an evening of beer and coke. Me and a friend were first-timers, the others probably did coke before (didn't ask). We were in this guys big room, couches, pc, big screen TV, lots of entertainment.
22.00h
The first lump of coke was grounded and put on a handy mirror, a cut McDonalds straw was used as method of insuction :P The coke was passed around, I took the straw and didn't glimpse into the deep end but just dived/snorted right in. The lines that were cut were pretty thin and small, as far as I can say. Maybe .05 grams or something. We did lines throughout the night irregularly once every 20 minutes.
Bitter taste, some numbness in the mouth, I read about that and it was there alright. But in spite of what I read, there was no sudden change in consciousness, no immediately elevated mood or energy. Maybe thatís my inexperience with coke but according to the other first experiences I read, the first time is highly noticeable. Maybe I didn't snort enough. After about 20 mins we all did another line and basically this pattern repeated itself irregularly through the night. The lines we made were kept of the same size.
The physiological effects I felt were the following: increased body temperature, somewhat higher heartrate, some chills down my spine, bit of adrenalinesque feverish shudders sometimes. The more positive effects I felt were mostly indirect, I didn't get drunk although I drank beer in a reasonable rate from 7PM-7.30AM. I didn't get tired at all actually. When I got up to go for a piss I felt that my body was somewhat drunk and tired, but my mind wasn't and there's no democracy in my body! :D
The most positive effects I noticed was a slightly more analyzing perspective on stuff in general and a lot(!) of talking and less inhibition to talk. Especially considering I only knew one of these dudes before tonight. We had pretty cool conversations all through the night. That was actually the part of the evening I enjoyed most, just sharing our experiences and viewpoints, the time flew by during these talks. We played some mad tunes (mostly trance) and saw two movies muted, Resident Evil and Shrek, also some music-DVD's.
When I'm sober I've got all these wonderful characteristics already (analyzing, talkative, outgoing), so maybe that's why I didn't notice a lot. The rhythm of the whole evening was pretty laidback, no energy-peaks or something but somewhat intense conversations. No hostile intensity, just...intensity.
Conclusion:
It was less than I expected from it. IMO: if this is a hard drug then mushrooms are mega hard drugs, way heavier for the mind. I was hoping for a big energy/ego boost and feelings of bliss and so on but in the end I just had a pretty cool night with some dudes, the coke kept me relatively sober and awake. I think I should've done bigger lines, cause I think I wasn't as high as coke can make someone. The effects I did experience were okay but not worth the money. But I seriously doubt if I will do coke again, as I have said exhaustively in this report, in my opinion psychedelics are way more interesting.

Oxford, England
Morris Garage
This nondescript building was the birthplace of Morris cars.
In 1892, at the age of 15, William Morris left school and soon started repairing bicycles, setting up the business in the backyard of his parents’ home at James Street in Oxford, then later rented a disused stable on Longwall Street from Merton College.
In 1910, the old stable, no longer suitable for Morris’s expanding business, was demolished and a new building was constructed at what is now 21 Longwall Street. This new building is what became known as Morris Garage, and it was here where the motor manufacturer assembled his first car, the Morris Oxford.
Even though the production soon moved to the outskirts of Oxford in Cowley, the Longwall Street building remained an important part of the manufacturing business. It was here where the company’s offices, including Morris’s own office, were located. Various departments of Morris Motors and its successors continued to occupy the building until 1964.
Later, the building was converted to student accommodation by New College; however, the exterior has been largely preserved. In 2018, Historic England named the former Morris Garage as one of the 10 most important sites to have shaped England’s trade and industry.

ITRI incorporates 3D smart vision sensors into garment production
by Rebecca Kuo, Taipei; Willis Ke, DIGITIMESTaiwan's government-funded Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) and Everest Textile, a local maker of functional fabrics, have jointly developed an automated multi-tasking system for garment production, able to cut manual operation by 70% through incorporating ITRI's 3D smart vision sensing technology.
ITRI said that the system can shorten the textile sample proofing time to 1-3 days from 7-10 days and enable Taiwan's textile and garment industry to adopt semi-automatic production.
ITRI said 3D smart vision sensing technology can recognize the color, shape, quality and location of any given object and can immediately scan stereo scenes and gestures of objects, suitable for application to metal processing, machining, and 3C inspection to help robotic arms move agilely without human assistance.
Meanwhile, ITRI's anti-reflective 3D vision guiding module can help determine fabric material feeding positions on different sizes of T-shirts and relay the positions to robotic arms, which will then execute materials loading and unloading at stitching and thermo-printing machines, thus integrating separate steps of processes into one-stop operation.
At the moment, up to 70% of functional fabrics come from Taiwan, and smart production integration solutions will enhance Taiwan textile and garment makers' production, according to ITRI.

Qt Quick 2 Oscilloscope Example
The Qt Quick 2 oscilloscope example shows how to combine C++ and QML in an application, as well as showing data that changes realtime.
The interesting thing about this example is combining C++ and QML, so we'll concentrate on that and skip explaining the basic functionality - for more detailed QML example documentation, see Qt Quick 2 Scatter Example.
Running the Example
To run the example from Qt Creator, open the Welcome mode and select the example from Examples. For more information, visit Building and Running an Example.
Data Source in C++
The item model based proxies are good for simple and/or static graphs, but to achieve best performance when displaying data changing in realtime, the basic proxies should be used. Those are not supported in QML, as the data items they store are not QObjects and cannot therefore be directly manipulated from QML code. To overcome this limitation, we implement a simple DataSource
class in C++ to populate the data proxy of the series.
The DataSource
class provides three methods that can be called from QML:
public Q_SLOTS: void generateData(int cacheCount, int rowCount, int columnCount, float xMin, float xMax, float yMin, float yMax, float zMin, float zMax); void update(QSurface3DSeries *series);
The first method, generateData()
, creates a cache of simulated oscilloscope data for us to display. The data is cached in a format accepted by QSurfaceDataProxy:
void DataSource::generateData(int cacheCount, int rowCount, int columnCount, float xMin, float xMax, float yMin, float yMax, float zMin, float zMax) { if (!cacheCount || !rowCount || !columnCount) return; clearData(); // Re-create the cache array m_data.resize(cacheCount); for (int i(0); i < cacheCount; i++) { QSurfaceDataArray &array = m_data[i]; array.reserve(rowCount); for (int j(0); j < rowCount; j++) array.append(new QSurfaceDataRow(columnCount)); } float xRange = xMax - xMin; float yRange = yMax - yMin; float zRange = zMax - zMin; int cacheIndexStep = columnCount / cacheCount; float cacheStep = float(cacheIndexStep) * xRange / float(columnCount); // Populate caches for (int i(0); i < cacheCount; i++) { QSurfaceDataArray &cache = m_data[i]; float cacheXAdjustment = cacheStep * i; float cacheIndexAdjustment = cacheIndexStep * i; for (int j(0); j < rowCount; j++) { QSurfaceDataRow &row = *(cache[j]); float rowMod = (float(j)) / float(rowCount); float yRangeMod = yRange * rowMod; float zRangeMod = zRange * rowMod; float z = zRangeMod + zMin; qreal rowColWaveAngleMul = M_PI * M_PI * rowMod; float rowColWaveMul = yRangeMod * 0.2f; for (int k(0); k < columnCount; k++) { float colMod = (float(k)) / float(columnCount); float xRangeMod = xRange * colMod; float x = xRangeMod + xMin + cacheXAdjustment; float colWave = float(qSin((2.0 * M_PI * colMod) - (1.0 / 2.0 * M_PI)) + 1.0); float y = (colWave * ((float(qSin(rowColWaveAngleMul * colMod) + 1.0)))) * rowColWaveMul + (0.15f * float(qrand()) / float(RAND_MAX)) * yRangeMod; int index = k + cacheIndexAdjustment; if (index >= columnCount) { // Wrap over index -= columnCount; x -= xRange; } row[index] = QVector3D(x, y, z); } } } }
The second method, update()
, copies one set of the cached data into another array, which we set to the data proxy of the series by calling QSurfaceDataProxy::resetArray(). We reuse the same array if the array dimensions have not changed to minimize overhead:
void DataSource::update(QSurface3DSeries *series) { if (series && m_data.size()) { // Each iteration uses data from a different cached array m_index++; if (m_index > m_data.count() - 1) m_index = 0; QSurfaceDataArray array = m_data.at(m_index); int newRowCount = array.size(); int newColumnCount = array.at(0)->size(); // If the first time or the dimensions of the cache array have changed, // reconstruct the reset array if (m_resetArray || series->dataProxy()->rowCount() != newRowCount || series->dataProxy()->columnCount() != newColumnCount) { m_resetArray = new QSurfaceDataArray(); m_resetArray->reserve(newRowCount); for (int i(0); i < newRowCount; i++) m_resetArray->append(new QSurfaceDataRow(newColumnCount)); } // Copy items from our cache to the reset array for (int i(0); i < newRowCount; i++) { const QSurfaceDataRow &sourceRow = *(array.at(i)); QSurfaceDataRow &row = *(*m_resetArray)[i]; for (int j(0); j < newColumnCount; j++) row[j].setPosition(sourceRow.at(j).position()); } // Notify the proxy that data has changed series->dataProxy()->resetArray(m_resetArray); } }
Note: Even though we are operating on the array pointer we have previously set to the proxy we still need to call QSurfaceDataProxy::resetArray() after changing the data in it to prompt the graph to render the data.
To be able to access the DataSource
methods from QML, we need to expose it. We do this by defining a context property in application main:
DataSource dataSource; viewer.rootContext()->setContextProperty("dataSource", &dataSource);
To make it possible to use QSurface3DSeries pointers as parameters on the DataSource
class methods on all environments and builds, we need to make sure the meta type is registered:
Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(QSurface3DSeries *) ... qRegisterMetaType<QSurface3DSeries *>();
QML
In the QML codes, we define a Surface3D graph normally and give it a Surface3DSeries:
Surface3DSeries { id: surfaceSeries drawMode: Surface3DSeries.DrawSurface; flatShadingEnabled: false; meshSmooth: true itemLabelFormat: "@xLabel, @zLabel: @yLabel" itemLabelVisible: false onItemLabelChanged: { if (surfaceSeries.selectedPoint === surfaceSeries.invalidSelectionPosition) selectionText.text = "No selection" else selectionText.text = surfaceSeries.itemLabel } }
One interesting detail is that we don't specify a proxy for the Surface3DSeries we attach to the graph. This makes the series to utilize the default QSurfaceDataProxy.
We also hide the item label with itemLabelVisible, since we want to display the selected item information in a Text
element instead of a floating label above the selection pointer. This is done because the selection pointer moves around a lot as the data changes, which makes the regular selection label difficult to read.
We initialize the DataSource
cache when the graph is complete by calling a helper function generateData()
, which calls the method with the same name on the DataSource
:
Component.onCompleted: mainView.generateData() ... function generateData() { dataSource.generateData(mainView.sampleCache, mainView.sampleRows, mainView.sampleColumns, surfaceGraph.axisX.min, surfaceGraph.axisX.max, surfaceGraph.axisY.min, surfaceGraph.axisY.max, surfaceGraph.axisZ.min, surfaceGraph.axisZ.max) }
To trigger the updates in data, we define a Timer
item which calls the update()
method on the DataSource
at requested intervals. The label update is also triggered on each cycle:
Timer { id: refreshTimer interval: 1000 / frequencySlider.value running: true repeat: true onTriggered: dataSource.update(surfaceSeries) }
Enabling Direct Rendering
Since this application potentially deals with a lot of rapidly changing data, we use direct rendering mode for performance. To enable antialiasing in this mode the surface format of the application window needs to be changed, as the default format used by QQuickView doesn't support antialiasing. We use the utility function provided by Qt Data Visualization to change the surface format in main.cpp
:
viewer.setFormat(QtDataVisualization::qDefaultSurfaceFormat()); ... #include <QtDataVisualization/qutils.h>
On the QML side, direct rendering mode is enabled via renderingMode property:
renderingMode: AbstractGraph3D.RenderDirectToBackground

EP Coding Help
2022 Update
As of January 1, 2022, 3D mapping and intra-cardiac echocardiogram have been bundled into the atrial fibrillation ablation coding, and 3D mapping and LA pacing and recording have been bundled into the SVT ablation coding. This is now reflected in the app, in that these bundled codes are now hashed out in their respective screens, and a warning will appear if these codes are combined.
EP Coding 101
Don't want to read the manual? Here's the TL;DR:
- Choose a procedure.
- Select codes from the list of codes presented.
- Tap the Sedation button to calculate sedation coding for the procedure.
- Tap Summarize to see a summary of selected codes along with warnings or errors in coding.
- Select ICD-10 diagnostic codes.
But there's a lot more to EP Coding. Read on if you dare…
Why EP Coding?
Current Procedural Terminology a.k.a. CPT® coding is not for the faint of heart. This is especially true for electrophysiologists, whose procedures can be as difficult to code as they are to perform (well, almost).
CPT coding is arcane. Unlike other medical coding systems, it is a proprietary system, copyrighted and owned by the American Medical Association (AMA). It is a secretive system unless you are willing to shell out large quantities of money to buy the official AMA coding book or attend a CPT coding seminar. To make matters worse, the AMA tweaks the system on a yearly basis, so that to keep up it is necessary to buy their book or attend a seminar yearly. But this is overkill for the average physician, who basically just wants to know how to code for procedures he or she commonly performs and enter these codes in the Electronic Health Record.
There is a strong temptation to throw up one's hands in despair and just let the professional coders code procedures based on whatever is documented in the procedure report. But wait! You can do this! You have EP Coding on your mobile device. It only cost you 99¢ and future updates are free. And it is tailored to you, the practicing electrophysiologist.
Who should use EP Coding?
Physicians who perform cardiac electrophysiology (EP) procedures and are required to submit CPT codes for these procedures. EP Coding is intended to help EP physicians enter the correct codes in an EHR (Electronic Health Record). It is not intended for professional coders nor is it a substitute for the AMA official CPT documentation.
How does EP Coding help?
With EP Coding you can:
- List relevant, up-to-date CPT codes for EP procedures, with succinct descriptions.
- Determine which codes can and cannot be combined for specific procedures.
- Analyze selected codes for errors and warnings.
- Add code modifiers as needed.
- Calculate sedation codes for procedures.
- Read help on how to code procedures.
How to use EP Coding
Select a procedure
Figure 1: Procedure list on iPhone.
On an iPhone, the initial screen when the app starts shows a list of common EP procedures. On an iPad, the list of procedures appears at the side of the screen, and it may be necessary to tap the Procedures button at the top left to show the list.
Figure 2: Procedure list on iPad.
The procedure list covers most common EP procedures. If a procedure is not listed, you have several options. You can use the Device Wizard to code complicated device procedures. You can Search for specific codes. You can also use the All Codes option of the procedure list, which contains all EP-related codes in numeric order.
Procedure codes
- Types of codes
Each procedure has a list of codes
Figure 3: Atrial fibrillation ablation codes.
Codes are organized as primary codes, at least one of which needs to be selected, and additional codes which are commonly used with the primary procedure codes. Selected codes are colored and have a check mark at their right edges. Codes that must be selected for a particular procedure are green and already selected. These green colored codes cannot be unselected. Codes that cannot be selected are crosshatched in gray. Codes you select are yellow.
- Selecting codes
Figure 4: Selecting a code. The 3D mapping code has been selected.
Select a code by tapping it. Unselect the code by tapping it again. Hitting the back button and going back to the main procedure list will unselect any selected codes (though selected codes can be saved – see saving codes.
- Clear selected codes
Tap Clear to clear the selected codes.
- Code modifiers
The CPT coding system includes hundreds of code modifiers that can or must be added to codes, depending on circumstances. It is beyond the scope of this help text to explain the intricacies of modifiers. EP Coding includes the most common modifiers, and by default these modifiers are applied to codes when appropriate. Modifiers can be added or edited for each code, saved to become new defaults, or reset to the original program defaults. Saving modifiers is especially useful if your expert coders suggest using other modifiers than the program's defaults, or if the AMA decides to change which modifiers are appropriate. For example, some codes contain both a physician and facility component, while others contain only a physician component. The former type of code needs to have modifier 26 attached, whereas the latter doesn't. Go figure.
Figure 5: Modifier screen with Modifier 26 selected.
Long press on a code (for a second or two) to bring up a list of common code modifiers that can be added or removed from each code. Select or unselect a modifier by tapping on it. Tap the Add button to add the modifier (or subtract it) from the code and return to the code list. Tap the Save button to make this modifier a default so that it is attached to the code all the time. Tap Reset to reset saved modifiers back to their default values.
- Sedation coding
As of 2017, the AMA, in their never ending quest to make life complicated for physicians, decided to unbundle sedation coding from procedures codes. Six new sedation codes were added, dependent on the age of the patient and whether the physician performing the procedure was also performing (i.e. supervising) the administration of moderate sedation. Codes are separated between codes for the initial 15 minutes of sedation, and subsequent 15 minute intervals. The latter codes can be applied multiple times, depending on the duration of sedation. To complicate matters further, there are rules for rounding time periods, so that, for example, the initial 15 minutes of sedation code can only be applied for time periods between 10 and 22 minutes. If you administer 9 minutes of sedation, no sedation codes can be submitted. Also note that sedation time does not equal procedure time. It must be tracked and documented separately.
Given all this, EP Coding now has a sedation calculator
Figure 6: Sedation coding calculator
From the procedure code list screen (see figure) tap Sedation at the bottom of the screen to add sedation codes. Note that the Sedation button is red if you have not entered any sedation information yet for a procedure. It turns blue like the other buttons after the sedation data is entered. When you tap the button a menu appears offering to Add sedation codes. (Note that after adding sedation codes, this button appears as Edit). Selecting Add then brings up a screen similar to the one above. Enter the sedation time (not procedure time), rounded down to the nearest minute. Select whether the same MD (i.e. you) performed the procedure and administered sedation (administering doesn't mean you did it personally, just that you were the one supervising whoever gave the sedation). If another physician, e.g. an anesthesiologist, administered the sedation, the calculator will determine the proper coding, but that other MD is the one who must submit the codes. The other factor that you must choose is the age of the patient: greater or less than 5 years old.
To assist with determining the sedation time, tap Calculate to the right of the sedation time text entry field. The next screen will appear.
Figure 7: Sedation time calculator
This calculator works much like the Apple Calendar app in selecting the starting and ending date and time for sedation. Tap on either time and a date and time picker wheel will appear from which you can select the date and time. When you have selected both the start and end time for sedation, tap the Calculate button to transfer the time difference in minutes to the Sedation time text entry field. Tap Cancel or the back button to go back to the Sedation entry screen without calculating the sedation time.
Tap Add Codes to add the sedation codes to the procedure. A dialog box will appear summarizing the sedation coding. Tap No Sedation if you did not use sedation during the procedure. Tap Cancel or the back button if you don't want to add sedation coding at this time. When you return to the procedure detail screen, the sedation codes won't appear on the list of codes, but they will appear when you tap Summarize to get a Code Summary as described below. Sedation coding using the Device Wizard is handled a little differently than this, and is described further below.
- Saving codes
Tap Save to save your selection of additional codes as a default. If you nearly always select the same additional codes (e.g. always do 3D mapping with SVT ablation), save the codes and they will preselected when you use the app again. Note that primary code selections are not saved.
- All EP codes module
The All EP Codes module lists every EP procedure code in numerical order, with code number given first. It is the a la carte menu of EP Coding.
Code Summary
Tap Summarize to show a summary of the codes selected along with any comments, warnings or errors (highlighted in green, orange or red respectively. EP Coding looks for codes that don't belong together, add-on codes without primary codes, lack of sedation coding, and other possibly erroneous coding situations. Note that not all incorrect combinations of codes can be detected. When in doubt, consult with your professional coders.
Searching, Device Wizard, ICD-10 Codes
Tap the menu icon on the upper right of the screen for more options.
- Search CPT codes
Tap Search to search for CPT codes by name or number. Note that due to the abbreviations used, a search that you expect to have results may come up empty. For example to search for pacer/pacemaker codes, search for "PPM." Here is a list of abbreviations used in EP Coding.
- Device wizard
Tap Device Wizard to steer you through complex device upgrades and revisions. A list of steps and possible codes is shown. Swipe each coding page and select the codes you need on each page. Sedation is added on the first page of the Wizard. Select the Sedation Coding table entry to bring up the sedation calculator. After swiping through each page of the Wizard, select Done to see the code summary, or the back button to exit the Wizard.
- ICD-10 codes
EP Coding includes a searchable list of ICD-10 codes. ICD-10 codes are provided by CMS.gov, and are updated on October 1 of each year. Previous versions of the app only included a subset of the codes relating to cardiology, but now we include all the diagnostic codes. The codes are the so-called ICD-10-CM codes, which are the diagnostic codes (the ICD-10-PCS procedure codes are not included, as these are more relevant to facility coding). Use the search bar to narrow down and find the right code. For example, here is a search for "fib":
Figure 8: ICD-10 search for "fib".
Note that all ICD-10 codes start with a letter not a number. Thus for example the code for Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation is I48.0, not 148.0.
- Help
Well, you're reading this, so you must have figured out already that you select Help to get help.
General hints
- Use the specific procedure modules rather than the All EP Codes module for coding procedures.
- Don't use the raw sedation codes in the All EP Codes module for sedation coding. Used the Sedation button instead.
- You may find it easier to use the Device Wizard to do device upgrade coding rather than use the Upgrade/Revise/Extract module.
- Use the All EP Codes module if you need to look up a specific code, as they are listed in numeric order in this module. Alternatively, use Search.
- There are some rarely used codes in the All EP Codes module that aren't present in the other modules.
- Don't try to add codes that are disabled in a procedure module. Disabled codes are codes that the CPT gods have decided can't be used for specific procedures.
- If you nearly always add codes to a procedure (e.g. 3D mapping with AFB ablation), then save it as a default using the Save button.
- Warnings (orange) point out codes that you may be missing or code combinations that possibly shouldn't be used together.
- Errors (red) indicate code combinations that almost certainly are not allowed.
- Check with your coders or the AMA documentation if you are not sure how to code a procedure.
Specific procedures
AFB ablation
- As of January, 2022, AFB ablation, 93656, now includes 3D mapping, and intra-cardiac echo, as well as LA pacing and recording and transseptal puncture.
- Includes comprehensive EP testing, LA pacing and recording and transseptal puncture.
- Add 93657 if additional AFB ablation done beyond pulmonary vein isolation.
- Add 93655 if separate supraventricular arrhythmia mechanism ablated (e.g. focal atrial tachycardia).
SVT ablation
- As of January, 2022, SVT ablation, 93653, now includes 3D mapping and LA pacing and recording.
- Includes comprehensive EP testing.
- SVT ablation code is used for any kind of SVT ablation including WPW, focal atrial tachycardia, atrial flutter, and AV nodal reentry.
VT ablation
- Includes comprehensive EP testing, LV pacing and recording, and mapping codes.
- You can't add mapping codes 93609 or 93613 to VT ablation!
AV node ablation
- It is not clear if EP testing codes can be combined with AV node ablation.
- It is not clear if mapping codes can be combined with AV node ablation.
- These points may need to be clarified with your coders.
EP testing
- Use 93620 (EP testing with attempted arrhythmia induction).
- Don't code with ablation procedures (? exception AV node ablation).
- You can add mapping codes, but don't add ablation codes to EP testing.
- Make sure you have performed and documented all components for code 93620:
- insertion of multiple catheters
- right atrial pacing and recording
- right ventricular pacing and recording
- His bundle recording
- Induction or attempted induction of arrhythmia
- If there is no attempted induction of arrhythmia (e.g. arrhythmia is incessant and already present), use code 93619.
- If not all components can be performed (e.g. patient in atrial
fibrillation so no atrial pacing), it may be necessary to use
individual component codes rather than the comprehensive EP codes.
These codes are found in the all Codes module and may be combined as
needed:
- 93600 Bundle of His recording
- 93602 Intra-atrial recording
- 93603 Right ventricular recording
- 93610 Intra-atrial pacing
- 93612 Intraventricular pacing
- 93618 Induction of arrhythmia
- If left atrial pacing and recording is performed, add code +93621 to one of the primary EP study codes. If there is only left atrial recording but not pacing (e.g. patient in atrial fibrillation), or vice-versa, add modifier 52 (reduced services).
New PPM or ICD
- Use codes 33206 to 33208 for new PPM depending on number of leads.
- Use 33249 for new single or dual ICD.
- Add code 33225 to dual chamber device code for PPM or ICD with CRT.
- Add 93641 if you do DFT testing during the ICD implant.
- Placing a sub-cutaneous array is probably best coded with 33999 (unlisted surgical procedure code).
- Modifier Q0 must be used for primary prevention ICDs (the majority of implants in most cases). Modifier Q0 must be removed for other ICD indications (i.e. secondary prevention).
Replace PPM or ICD
- Use 33227 to 33229 for PPM replacement and 33262 to 33264 for ICD replacement depending on number of leads.
- Do not add generator removal codes to these codes!
- Add 93641 if you do DFT testing during ICD generator replacement.
- Remember to use Modifier Q0 if needed.
Upgrade/revise/extract
- This is the most complicated coding area. We will break this down into some specific situations. You can also use the Device Wizard to lead you through this. This is the simplest way to do this!
- Note codes are arranged in logical groups, not necessarily in numeric order.
- Don't forget Modifier Q0!
- Lead addition only, no change in generator
- Use specific lead placement code, e.g. 33216, place A lead.
- Use 33224 to place an LV lead if the CRT generator is already there.
- Lead repositioning
- Reposition previously implanted single A or V lead: 33215
- Reposition previously implanted LV lead: 33226
- Removal of generator alone
- PPM generator removal: 33233
- ICD generator removal: 33241
- Don't use these codes in conjunction with generator-only replacement codes, but do use them with new/replacement system codes for upgrades (see Upgrade of system).
- Removal/extraction of leads
- PPM single lead extraction: 33234
- PPM dual lead extraction: 33235
- ICD 1 or 2 leads extracted: 33244
- LV lead extraction has no specific code, probably should use 33234 or 33999 (unlisted procedure).
- Removal of entire system without replacement
- Use combination of generator removal and lead removal codes as appropriate.
- New/replacement device
- PPM:
- 33206 new/replacement PPM with new A lead
- 33207 new/replacement PPM with new V lead
- 33208 new/replacement PPM with new A and V leads
- ICD: 33249 new ICD, single or dual, with leads
- Plus LV lead: +33225
- PPM:
- Upgrade of system
- Single chamber to dual chamber PPM (includes new lead, removal of old generator and placement of new generator) : 33214
- Other situations: code removal of generator and removal of leads if leads are removed, then code for insertion of new system.
- Example: upgrade of single chamber PPM to ICD with CRT.
- Code PPM generator removal: 33233
- Code single or dual ICD system implant: 33249
- Code implant LV lead with new system: +33225
- Place generator, existing leads
- Single chamber PPM generator: 33212
- Dual chamber PPM generator: 33213
- Single chamber ICD generator: 33240
- Dual chamber ICD generator: 33230
- CRT ICD generator: 33231
- Pocket revision
- PPM pocket revision: 33222
- ICD pocket revision: 33223
- Lead repair
- One lead repaired: 33218
- Two leads repaired: 33220
Other procedures
- These are miscellaneous EP procedures (tilt table, cardioversions, etc.).
- Fluoroscopy to check for lead integrity: 76000
All EP codes
- Lists all codes in the app in numeric order.
- Avoid using this module unless other ones don't cover coding because procedure is unusual or rarely done.
- Code analysis may not check every combination of codes selected in this module.
- This module can be useful to look up specific code numbers.
- Sedation codes are listed, but it is preferable as in the other modules to use the sedation calculator to compute sedation codes.

equifax certificate on N95
I wanted my N95 to check my email automagically but, as I noted before, there was a certificate issue. Namely it considered deadsquid's certificate untrusted. It looks like the N95 had a certificate for Equifax, but not the root that Kev used for deadsquid's mail. By examining the certificate I could see which one it was, and then I eventually found the matching certificate here.
You can see the certs currently on your N95 by going Menu-> Tools -> Settings -> General -> Security -> Certificate Management. They're listed there. The cert I had was the Equifax Secure Certificate Authority, the cert I needed was something along the lines of ... Global eBusiness.
At first I tried downloading it using the built-in web client, but there's no way to save an actual page to disk, from what I can see. I then actually downloaded the Opera Mini beta but — although it looks nice, fast and well-designed — it doesn't permit saving either. Finally I just downloaded the .cer version to my Mac, then hit Command-Shift-B in the Finder and bluetooth'd it to my phone. The N95 immediately recognized as a certificate and allowed me to install it.
It did reboot without warning when next I tried entering the deadsquid mail folder, but appears to be working now. Meaning no more untrusted certificate prompts when accessing deadsquid mail. Sweet.
Thanks to this blog for the pointers to the fact that this could be done, even though the certs listed weren't what I needed.

Using C language to build a VM that can run WebAssembly.
Using C language to build C interpreter.
Using Verilog to build a simple rsic cpu.
Using C# to implement some algorithm.
Using Python to implement simple blockchain.


The CPU divides its processing time and divides it in such a manner that no system application face any hindrance. Through disk scheduling, it specifies which task CPU needs to handle first and during which time. Simply put it can be said that the total time of CPU is bifurcated among the various functions and programmes so that each process can process simultaneously at one point in time. Disk scheduling is scheduling the CPUs time for optimum utilization of the computer.
A computer is used to perform many tasks at the same time. While working on computers, we mostly work on multiple programmes and software at the same time, without any hindrance. To control all the functions, including the disk memory, and to process the operating systems efficiently, the computer uses the model of disk scheduling.
So before we take a deep dive into how this scheduling model is implemented , we should get familier with which disks are we talking about and WHY does the computer needs to apply these disk scheduling models.
What are Magnetic Disks ?
IBM introduced the first magnetic disk, the RAMAC, in 1955; it held 5 megabytes. Magnetic disks are platters coated with iron oxide, like tape and drums.
An arm with a tiny wire coil, the read and a write head in each and evry disk which moves radially over the disk, which is divided into concentric tracks composed of small arcs, or sectors, of data.
Magnetized regions of the disk generate small currents in the coil as it passes, thereby allowing it to “read” a sector; similarly, a small current in the coil will induce a local magnetic change in the disk, thereby “writing” to a sector.
There is a read and write head of each and every disk, and this moves in rectilinear motion across the surface of the track. Block numbers are used to request data from the drive, and it is the controller who takes the head to the required track and to have access to the data it then waits till the required block comes under it.
This disk in a computer is a magnetic storing drive which is divided into different surfaces. All these surfaces or platters rotate as one unit, and the speed at which it rotates is as high as 5k to 10k RPM.
Magnetic storage or magnetic recording is the storage of data on a magnetized medium. Magnetic storage uses different patterns of magnetisation in a magnetizable material to store data and is a form of non-volatile memory. The information is accessed using one or more read/write heads.
So when various requests come from a request or at the same time, and this is where the Role of Disk Scheduling comes into the picture.
What is the need of Disk Scheduling ?
One of the responsibilities of the operating system is to use the hardware efficiently. For the disk drives, meeting this responsibility entails having fast access time and large disk bandwidth.
For magnetic disks, the access time has two major components.The seek time is the time for the disk arm to move the heads to the cylinder containing the desired sector.
The rotational latency is the additional time for the disk to rotate the desired sector to the disk head. The disk bandwidth is the total number of bytes transferred, divided by the total time between the first request for service and the completion of the last transfer.
We can improve both the access time and the bandwidth by managing the order in which disk I/O requests are serviced.
Types of Disk Scheduling Algorithms
The CPU divides its processing time and divides it in such a manner that no system application face any hindrance. Through disk scheduling, it specifies which task CPU needs to handle first and during which time. Simply put it can be said that the total time of CPU is bifurcated among the various functions and programmes so that each process can process simultaneously at one point in time.
Disk scheduling is scheduling the CPUs time for optimum utilization of the computer.So this is implemented using various algorithms which include:

XSD ObjectsXSD ObjectsXML Schema Part 2 : DatatypesThe types and formatting of data transmitted in a SOAP message is defined by the XML Schema, in particular Part 2 : Datatypes. The full specification can be seen here. Built-in typesWithin section 3 of the above specification 44 built-in datatypes are described, encompasing Strings, numeric, time and encoded binary datatypes. These datatypes are split into two groups, primitive and derived types.
Primitive TypesThe XML schema provides 19 primitive types. As all data is represented in text form within XML, the value space for each datatype needs to be specified, for example numeric types cannot contain alphabetic characters. To do this, each type defines a number of contraining facets and the values within these facets allows the XML engine to validate the data. See Constraining Facets below for further information on how these are used.
See section 3.2 of the specification for full detail on each datatype. Derived TypesThe XML Schema allows additional types to be derived from the primitive types, and has 25 built-in derived types. 12 data types are derived from the string primitive data type. The remaining 13 data types are derived from the decimal primitive data type.
A derived type uses the same contraining facets as the type from which it is derived, but provides differing values for one or more facet so as to further restrict the value space. For example; the decimal allows fraction digits, while the integer derived type sets this facet to 0. See section 3.3 of the specification for full detail on each datatype. User defined derived typesIn the same way as the XML Schema defines a number of built-in datatypes the user can also provide additional derived types. This can be done in the WSDL document, or an XSD referred from a WSDL document. The following shows how you can create a new type called direction, which is derived from the NMTOKEN built-in type, to only have the values fromKey and toKey, by restricting the enumeration constraining facet. <xsd:simpleType name="direction"> <xsd:restriction base="NMTOKEN"> <xsd:enumeration value="fromKey"/> <xsd:enumeration value="toKey"/> </xsd:restriction> </xsd:simpleType> Constraining FacetsAs mentioned above, the value spaces of each of the built-in types are controlled by constraining facets. The XML Schema provides 12 constraining facets, as described in section 4.3. The 12 constraining facets are:
Each primitive datatype uses a subset of these contraining facets, to suit the characteristics of that particular datatype. Section 4.1.5 of the XML Schema provides a table of which facets are used for each datatype. It is permitted for the value of a constraining facet to be undefined, with the exception of whitespace which must be specified as one of preserve, replace or collapse. Axis C++ Implementation of XSD built-in typesC++ ObjectsIn version 1.5 of Apache Axis C++, an object model was introduced to the SOAP engine for the XSD built-in types. The object heirarchy mimics the order in which the datatypes are derived from each other. IAnySimpleType InterfaceAll the XSD type objects implement the IAnySimpleType interface, which provides the following methods, which must be implemented by all implementing classes
AxisChar* serialize() throw (AxisSoapException)
void deserialize(const AxisChar* valueAsChar) throw (AxisSoapException) XSDTYPE getType() void* getValue() In addition each implementation of this interface must provide a parameterized constructor, such that it can be constructed and will immediately serialize the provided value. The IAnySimpleType interface provides the following utility method, which should be called by all implementing classes when serializing data.
AxisChar* serialize(const AxisChar* value) throw (AxisSoapException);
This method resolves reserved characters (eg & is replaced by &), processes Whitespace, validates Pattern and ensures value is contained within Enumeration. Object HeirarchyBelow is a portion of the C++ object heirarchy, which, as you will notice, is very similar to the diagram of built-in datatypes in the XSD Schema.
Mapping XSD built-in types to C/C++ typesWithin the Axis engine mappings are provided between the XSD built-in types and the native C/C++ types. To aid understanding and maintain consistency, these are declared as typedefs to match the XSD type names. These typedefs should be used throughout the engine for:
C++ TypesThe mapping from C++ types to the XSD built-in types is defined in AxisUserAPI.hpp. For each XSD built-in type a corresponding typedef is declared in the form xsd__<type>, eg: xsd__string. Note: AxisUserAPI.hpp only declares those types currenty supported within the user API. C TypesSimilar to the C++ API, the mapping from C types to the XSD built-in types is defined in AxisUserAPI.h. A typedef is declared for each XSD built-in type, in the form xsdc__<type>, eg: xsdc__string. IConstrainingFacet InterfaceAll the Constraining Facet objects implement the IConstrainingFacet interface. This provides the following utility method, which allows the XSD objects to determine if a given facet has been defined:
bool isSet();
The following Constraining Facet objects provide utility methods to assist the serialization/deserialization of XSD built-in types: Enumeration
void validateEnumeration(const AxisChar* value) throw (AxisSoapException);
Pattern
void validatePattern(const AxisChar* value) throw (AxisSoapException);
WhiteSpace
const AxisChar* processWhiteSpace(const AxisChar* valueToProcess);
Current LimitationsFunction LimitationCurrently, the XSD objects are completely internal to the Axis engine. In the future we may wish to expose these on the external API, such that customers (via WSDL2Ws) will be able to derive additional simple types simply by refining one or more of the constraining facets, then simply re-using the serialization/deserialization logic we have already written. Pattern Constraining FacetThe implementation of the pattern constraining facet is incomplete. It needs to validate against a given regular expression, following this, the pattern for each of data types needs to be updated with the regular expression to describe their particular data type.

Paul bravely exposes Kel's sexual abuse of him as a child in Corrie
Paul Foreman (Peter Ash) is about to take the extraordinarily brave step of exposing the truth about sexual abuser Kel (Joseph Alessi) in Coronation Street after the depraved criminal is arrested. Kel finds himself caught out over the burglaries but with Kel having spoken out to his family about what happened to him as a child, Bernie Winter (Jane Hazlegrove) takes it upon herself to inform the police of Kel’s much more serious crimes.
At first, Paul is unhappy with his mum for taking this decision out of his hands but he soon decides that he wants and deserves justice. The police present Kel with the photographs recovered during the search of his flat and he is seething with Bernie for reporting him.
In anger, he later takes her prisoner in her own home but as she fears for her safety, Paul arrives with sister Gemma (Dolly Rose Campbell) and saves the day. The situation gives Paul food for thought and he knows that Kel belongs behind bars.
Advertisement Advertisement
Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank) on hand to support Paul through the difficult procedure and he arranges for him to speak with a sexual abuse charity. Paul is nervous as he heads for the meeting but he soon finds himself opening up about his ordeal and finds a weight being lifted from him.
As he speaks more about what happened, he stops seeing himself as a helpless victim and the one at fault and realise the responsibility for the horrific crimes is Kel’s alone. Determined to get justice and see Kel pay for what he has done, Paul feels ready to take on the battle and give the statement.
With the support of Billy and his family, Paul makes his statement and the ball is set rolling as Kel fears his time is up.
Will Paul get the justice he deserves?

The reference implementation of the WoD specification is an open source (MIT License), production ready, standalone server. It can be built from source (link coming soon) or run as a docker container. It implements the service API and server side semantics.
To start a WoD node server as a docker container run the following docker command:
docker run --name wod-node1 -p 8888:8888 webofdata/node
The to test its running:
curl http://localhost:8888/info
curl http://localhost:8888/stores
The client SDKs provide language specific libraries for communicating with a WoD service endpoint. These clients also provide implementations of the syncronisation features of the protocol.
The following client SDKs are available. See the individual project pages for how to install and use them.

The flow-dscan utility is used to detect suspicious activity such as port scanning, host scanning, and flows with unusually high octets or packets. A source and destination suppress list is supported to help prevent false alarms due to hosts such as nameservers or popular web servers that exchange traffic with a large number of hosts. Alarms are logged to syslog or stderr. The internal state of flow-dscan can be saved and loaded to allow for interrupted operation.
flow-dscan will work best if configured to only watch only inbound or outbound traffic by using the input or output interface filter option.
The host scanner works by counting the length of the destination IP hash chain. If it goes above 64, then the src is considered to be scanning.
The port scanner works by keeping a bitmap of the destination port number < 1024 per destination IP. If it goes above 64, the src is considered to be port scanning the destination.
When a src has been flagged as scanning it will not be reported again until the record is aged out and enough flows trigger it again.
A SIGHUP signal will instruct flow-dscan to reload the suppress list.
A SIGUSR1 signal will instruct flow-dscan to dump its internal state.

Basename of suppress files. There are two suppress files for input and output traffic. The suppress file syntax is
IP_address protocol source_port destination_port
A '-' can be used as a wildcard in the protocol, source_port, and destination_port fields. Only a single protocol, source_port, and destination_port is supported per IP address.
Multicast address filter. Use to ignore multicast addresses.
Trigger an alert if a flow is processed with the octets field exceeding excessive_octets.
Dump state to /var/tmp/dscan.state or the filename specified with -s.
Trigger an alert if a flow is processed with the packets field exceeding excessive_packets.
State filename. Defaults to /var/tmp/dscan.state
Number of ports a IP address must have used to be considered scanning.
How long to keep flows around. Default to 90000. This is measured in flows processed.
Trigger an alert if a flow is processed with the End-Start field exceeding excessive_time.
Filter (ignore) candidate inbound www traffic, ie IP protocol 6, source port 80, and destination port > 1023.
Filter (ignore) candidate outbound www traffic, ie IP protocol 6, destination port 80, and source port > 1023.
In a topology where 25 is the only output interface run flow-dscan over the data in /flows/krc4. Ignore www and multicast traffic, store the internal state in dscan.statefile on exit. Use empty suppress list files dscan.suppress.src and dscan.suppress.dst. The output produced by flow-dscan typically must be manually inspected by using flow-filter and flow-print. Many of the alerts will be false until the suppress lists are populated for the local environment.

Shanghai Noon Reviewed by Christian Pyle Directed by Tom Dey Written by Miles Millar and Alfred Gough Starring Jackie Chan, Owen Wilson, and Lucy Liu Grade: C
It seemed like a good idea: import the superstars of Hong Kong's successful action films and put them in American action movies. So far, though, the Hollywood efforts of Jackie Chan, Chow Yun-Fat, Jet Li, and director John Woo have failed to measure up to their work in Hong Kong. Chan, the most popular member of the group with American audiences, is the most difficult to fit to an American genre. Why? Because Hollywood doesn't make "Jackie Chan movies." The closest equivalent America has had to Chan's unique style were the silent comedies of Buster Keaton. In the films of both Chan and Keaton, the emphasis is on "gags" (stunts) that are simultaneously thrilling, hilarious, and graceful while the lead character is reduced to a simple persona that the star plays in every movie and the plot is a loosely woven justification for the gags. Ironically, therefore, Chan may have found a better fit with the Hollywood of the 1920's than with Hollywood today. When sound came in, they stopped making "Buster Keaton movies" and could not find a niche for the stone-faced star. There was even a disastrous attempt to pair Keaton with Jimmy Durante in a series of sound comedies. Some seventy years later, Chan has found himself with the same sort of awkward mismatch as Hollywood has inserted him into two "buddy movies": 1998's "Rush Hour" and the new "Shanghai Noon."
As in "Rush Hour," Chan's character has come to America from the East to save a kidnapped woman. This time around it's 1881, and imperial guardsman Chon Wang (Jackie Chan) is part of a contingent from China's Forbidden City to deliver a ransom of 100,000 pieces of gold to a mission in Carson City, Nevada, and retrieve Princess Pei Pei (Lucy Liu). The princess thought she was escaping China and an loathsome arranged marriage when she was betrayed and found herself kidnapped instead by Lo Fong (Roger Yuan), a former member of the Imperial Guard who was exiled for treason. Chon gets separated from his comrades when Roy O'Bannon (Owen Wilson) and his gang rob their train. O'Bannon is also cut adrift when he's double-crossed by a new member of the gang (Walt Goggins). After some initial fighting and a detour or two, Chon and Roy team-up to find the princess. Along the way, they have to fend off Lo Fong, Marshal Van Cleef (Xander Berkeley) and his posse, and the other imperial guards (Cui Ya Hi, Rong Guang Yu, and Eric Chen).
References to classic westerns abound. Chon Wang sounds like John Wayne when pronounced with Chan's accent ("That's an awful cowboy name," responds Roy). Berkeley is made up to look like his character's namesake, Lee Van Cleef, who starred alongside Clint Eastwood in "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly." There's a well-executed homage at the end to "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," as well. To its credit, "Shanghai Noon" avoids cliches, for the most part. (I assumed there'd be a runaway stagecoach in there somewhere, but there wasn't.) At one point, Roy even rejects a cliche. Roy and Chon are in jail, and Chon suggests, "I'll pretend to be sick." Roy replies, "Does that still work in China? Because, I gotta tell you, in America it's been done to death."
The way they do break out of the cell is one of the funniest moments in the movie. There's another sidesplitting scene when the guys get drunk in a cathouse. Other than those two scenes, there were more laughs in the outtakes at the end than in the movie itself. Like "Rush Hour," the script for "Shanghai Noon" is thin and uneven. There are lots of gaps that left me scratching my head. For example, at one point Chon has climbed to the top of a snow-capped mountain with more of the same stretching before him. Cut to Chon by a stream near a forest. What happened to the mountains? Another befuddlement: for some reason, Van Cleef and Lo Fong think that Roy has the ransom gold, but the gold was never stolen. The other guardsmen have it throughout the movie. Only the most minimal gestures are made towards character development. One central character, a Native American woman Chon mistakenly marries (Brandon Merrill), is so underdeveloped that the closing credits refer to her simply as "Indian wife." Normally we expect a lack of plot and character development in a "Jackie Chan movie"; plots and characters exist only to link the stunts and fight scenes together. However, when Chan goes out of his own genre and into an American buddy pic, the requirements of the latter genre and the sparseness of the fast-paced action sequences of Chan's Cantonese features makes the plot much more important. The feeble scripts of "Rush Hour" and "Shanghai Noon" would likely be rejected by any popular American action hero, but producers probably think, "Hey, Jackie's movies don't have plots anyway."
Despite it all, Chan is still Chan. There are some wonderfully inventive fight scenes where Chan gets to strut his stuff, and he has a lot of fun with western-themed props like tomahawks and six-guns. The best moment: he fashions a weapon out of a horseshoe and a rope. However, if this were a real "Jackie Chan movie," there would be a lot more of these moments, and the movie would be a lot more fun. I hope the next time Chan goes west, he travels by way of Hong Kong.
Bottom line: It's "Rush Hour 2: The Early Years."
