Sound and video¶
pyglet can play many audio and video formats. Audio is played back with either OpenAL, DirectSound or Pulseaudio, permitting hardware-accelerated mixing and surround-sound 3D positioning. Video is played into OpenGL textures, and so can be easily be manipulated in real-time by applications and incorporated into 3D environments.
Decoding of compressed audio and video is provided by AVbin, an optional component available for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. AVbin is installed alongside pyglet by default if the Windows or Mac OS X installation is used. If pyglet was installed from source, AVbin can be installed separately.
If AVbin is not present, pyglet will fall back to reading uncompressed WAV files only. This may be sufficient for many applications that require only a small number of short sounds, in which case those applications need not distribute AVbin.
Audio drivers¶
pyglet can use OpenAL, DirectSound or Pulseaudio to play back audio. Only one of these drivers can be used in an application, and this must be selected before the pyglet.media module is loaded. The available drivers depend on your operating system:
The audio driver can be set through the audio key of the pyglet.options dictionary. For example:
pyglet.options['audio'] = ('openal', 'silent')
This tells pyglet to use the OpenAL driver if it is available, and to ignore all audio output if it is not. The audio option can be a list of any of these strings, giving the preference order for each driver:
String Audio driver openal OpenAL directsound DirectSound pulse Pulseaudio silent No audio output
You must set the audio option before importing pyglet.media. You can alternatively set it through an environment variable; see Environment settings.
The following sections describe the requirements and limitations of each audio driver.
DirectSound¶
DirectSound is available only on Windows, and is installed by default on Windows XP and later. pyglet uses only DirectX 7 features. On Windows Vista DirectSound does not support hardware audio mixing or surround sound.
OpenAL¶
OpenAL is included with Mac OS X. Windows users can download a generic driver from openal.org, or from their sound device’s manufacturer. Linux users can use the reference implementation also provided by Creative. For example, Ubuntu users can apt-get openal. ALUT is not required. pyglet makes use of OpenAL 1.1 features if available, but will also work with OpenAL 1.0.
Due to a long-standing bug in the reference implementation of OpenAL, stereo audio is downmixed to mono on Linux. This does not affect Windows or Mac OS X users.
Pulse¶
Pulseaudio has become the standard Linux audio implementation over the past few years, and is installed by default with most modern Linux distributions.
Linux Issues¶
Linux users have the option of choosing between OpenAL and Pulse for audio output. Unfortunately OpenAL has severe limitations that are outside the scope of pyglet’s control.
If your application can manage without stereo playback, you should use the OpenAL driver (assuming your users have it installed). You can do this with:
pyglet.options['audio'] = ('openal', 'pulse', 'silent')
If your application needs stereo playback, consider using the Pulse driver in preference to the OpenAL driver (this is the default).
| [1] | (1, 2) OpenAL is not installed by default on Windows, nor in many Linux distributions. It can be downloaded separately from your audio device manufacturer or openal.org |
Supported media types¶
If AVbin is not installed, only uncompressed RIFF/WAV files encoded with linear PCM can be read.
With AVbin, many common and less-common formats are supported. Due to the large number of combinations of audio and video codecs, options, and container formats, it is difficult to provide a complete yet useful list. Some of the supported audio formats are:
- AU
- MP2
- MP3
- OGG/Vorbis
- WAV
- WMA
Some of the supported video formats are:
- AVI
- DivX
- H.263
- H.264
- MPEG
- MPEG-2
- OGG/Theora
- Xvid
- WMV
For a complete list, see the AVbin sources. Otherwise, it is probably simpler to simply try playing back your target file with the media_player.py example.
New versions of AVbin as they are released may support additional formats, or fix errors in the current implementation. AVbin is completely future- and backward-compatible, so no change to pyglet is needed to use a newer version of AVbin – just install it in place of the old version.
Loading media¶
Audio and video files are loaded in the same way, using the pyglet.media.load function, providing a filename:
source = pyglet.media.load('explosion.wav')
If the media file is bundled with the application, consider using the resource module (see Application resources).
The result of loading a media file is a Source object. This object provides useful information about the type of media encoded in the file, and serves as an opaque object used for playing back the file (described in the next section).
The load function will raise a MediaException if the format is unknown. IOError may also be raised if the file could not be read from disk. Future versions of pyglet will also support reading from arbitrary file-like objects, however a valid filename must currently be given.
The length of the media file is given by the duration property, which returns the media’s length in seconds.
Audio metadata is provided in the source’s audio_format attribute, which is None for silent videos. This metadata is not generally useful to applications. See the AudioFormat class documentation for details.
Video metadata is provided in the source’s video_format attribute, which is None for audio files. It is recommended that this attribute is checked before attempting play back a video file – if a movie file has a readable audio track but unknown video format it will appear as an audio file.
You can use the video metadata, described in a VideoFormat object, to set up display of the video before beginning playback. The attributes are as follows:
Attribute Description width, height Width and height of the video image, in pixels. sample_aspect The aspect ratio of each video pixel.
You must take care to apply the sample aspect ratio to the video image size for display purposes. The following code determines the display size for a given video format:
def get_video_size(width, height, sample_aspect):
if sample_aspect > 1.:
return width * sample_aspect, height
elif sample_aspect < 1.:
return width, height / sample_aspect
else:
return width, height
Media files are not normally read entirely from disk; instead, they are streamed into the decoder, and then into the audio buffers and video memory only when needed. This reduces the startup time of loading a file and reduces the memory requirements of the application.
However, there are times when it is desirable to completely decode an audio file in memory first. For example, a sound that will be played many times (such as a bullet or explosion) should only be decoded once. You can instruct pyglet to completely decode an audio file into memory at load time:
explosion = pyglet.media.load('explosion.wav', streaming=False)
The resulting source is an instance of StaticSource, which provides the same interface as a streaming source. You can also construct a StaticSource directly from an already-loaded Source:
explosion = pyglet.media.StaticSource(pyglet.media.load('explosion.wav'))
Simple audio playback¶
Many applications, especially games, need to play sounds in their entirety without needing to keep track of them. For example, a sound needs to be played when the player’s space ship explodes, but this sound never needs to have its volume adjusted, or be rewound, or interrupted.
pyglet provides a simple interface for this kind of use-case. Call the play method of any Source to play it immediately and completely:
explosion = pyglet.media.load('explosion.wav', streaming=False)
explosion.play()
You can call play on any Source, not just StaticSource.
The return value of Source.play is a ManagedPlayer, which can either be discarded, or retained to maintain control over the sound’s playback.
Controlling playback¶
You can implement many functions common to a media player using the Player class. Use of this class is also necessary for video playback. There are no parameters to its construction:
player = pyglet.media.Player()
A player will play any source that is “queued” on it. Any number of sources can be queued on a single player, but once queued, a source can never be dequeued (until it is removed automatically once complete). The main use of this queuing mechanism is to facilitate “gapless” transitions between playback of media files.
A StreamingSource can only ever be queued on one player, and only once on that player. StaticSource objects can be queued any number of times on any number of players. Recall that a StaticSource can be created by passing streaming=False to the load method.
In the following example, two sounds are queued onto a player:
player.queue(source1)
player.queue(source2)
Playback begins with the player’s play method is called:
player.play()
Standard controls for controlling playback are provided by these methods:
Method Description play Begin or resume playback of the current source. pause Pause playback of the current source. next_source Dequeue the current source and move to the next one immediately. next can also be used but it is deprecated because of incompatibilities with Python 3. seek Seek to a specific time within the current source.
Note that there is no stop method. If you do not need to resume playback, simply pause playback and discard the player and source objects. Using the next_source method does not guarantee gapless playback.
There are several properties that describe the player’s current state:
Property Description time The current playback position within the current source, in seconds. This is read-only (but see the seek method). playing True if the player is currently playing, False if there are no sources queued or the player is paused. This is read-only (but see the pause and play methods). source A reference to the current source being played. This is read-only (but see the queue method). volume The audio level, expressed as a float from 0 (mute) to 1 (normal volume). This can be set at any time.
When a player reaches the end of the current source, by default it will move immediately to the next queued source. If there are no more sources, playback stops until another is queued. There are several other possible behaviours, specified by setting the eos_action attribute on the player:
eos_action Description EOS_NEXT The default action: playback continues at the next source. EOS_PAUSE Playback pauses at the end of the source, which remains the current source for this player. EOS_LOOP Playback continues immediately at the beginning of the current source. EOS_STOP Valid only for ManagedPlayer, for which it is default: the player is discarded when the current source finishes.
You can change a player’s eos_action at any time, but be aware that unless sufficient time is given for the future data to be decoded and buffered there may be a stutter or gap in playback. If eos_action is set well in advance of the end of the source (say, several seconds), there will be no disruption.
Incorporating video¶
When a Player is playing back a source with video, use the get_texture method to obtain the video frame image. This can be used to display the current video image syncronised with the audio track, for example:
@window.event
def on_draw():
player.get_texture().blit(0, 0)
The texture is an instance of pyglet.image.Texture, with an internal format of either GL_TEXTURE_2D or GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB. While the texture will typically be created only once and subsequentally updated each frame, you should make no such assumption in your application – future versions of pyglet may use multiple texture objects.
Positional audio¶
pyglet uses OpenAL for audio playback, which includes many features for positioning sound within a 3D space. This is particularly effective with a surround-sound setup, but is also applicable to stereo systems.
A Player in pyglet has an associated position in 3D space – that is, it is equivalent to an OpenAL “source”. The properties for setting these parameters are described in more detail in the API documentation; see for example Player.position and Player.pitch.
The OpenAL “listener” object is provided by the pyglet.media.listener singleton, an instance of Listener. This provides similar properties such as Listener.position, Listener.forward_orientation and Listener.up_orientation that describe the position of the user in 3D space.
Note that only mono sounds can be positioned. Stereo sounds will play back as normal, and only their volume and pitch properties will affect the sound.

Tax hike targets ‘sin’ items
Duterte pushes bill to paper over universal health care budget gap
by MJ Blancaflor and Macon Ramos-AranetaPresident Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday certified as urgent a measure to increase taxes on alcohol, heated tobacco, and vapor products to generate additional funds for the Universal Health Care Act.
READ: Sin tax hike will make Filipinos healthier—DOH
In a letter addressed to Senate President Vicente Sotto III and House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano, President Duterte asked lawmakers to immediately pass a law increasing excise taxes on “sin products” to further “protect the right to health of the people.”
The proposal seeks to raise some P47.9 billion to cover a P59.1=billion funding gap for universal health care, data from the Department of Finance showed.
Senator Pia Cayetano, chairperson of ways and means committee, sponsored Senate Bill 1074 on Sept. 25 which seeks to align the tax rate of heated tobacco products and vape with that of traditional cigarettes at P45 starting next year.
For alcoholic beverages, Cayetano proposed to increase the tax on distilled spirits from P23.5 to P90 per proof liter with a 20 percent ad valorem tax beginning next year.
Fermented liquors and alcopops would be taxed at P45 per liter, up from P25.4. A specific tax of P600 would be imposed on sparkling wines, while a specific tax of P43 would be imposed on still and carbonated wines beginning 2020.
For e-cigarettes under the heat-not-burn product category, the bill seeks to increase the current rates of P10 per pack of 20 to P45 per pack on Year 1 to be at parity with regular cigarettes.
For vapor products, there will be a distinction between salt nicotine and freebase. From P10 per 10mL or less, salt nicotine will increase to P45 per mL, while freebase will increase to P45 per 10 mL on Year
1. These rates will increase by P5 every year until Year 4 then 5 percent every year thereafter.
In the House, its counterpart proposal was House Bill 1026, which also seeks to impose taxes on distilled spirits, fermented liquors, and wines.
Under the proposal, the tax would increase 7 percent annually starting in 2020 for wines, and in 2023 for distilled spirits and fermented liquors.
More than half of Filipinos aged 20 to 59 engage in the harmful use of alcohol in the form of binge drinking, according to Food Nutrition and Research Institute’s Clinical and Health Survey in 2015.
The same survey also showed among Filipino youth aged 10 to 19, 14.9 percent consume alcohol, and 36.7 percent of these are underage drinkers.
In July, Duterte signed a law raising excise taxes on cigarettes by P45 per pack by 2020, P50 per pack by 2021, P55 per pack by 2022, and P60 per pack by 2023.
Republic Act No. 11346 was expected to bring P15 billion revenue to boost funding for the Universal Health Care Law and programs of the Department of Health.
Revenues would be allocated and divided among the tobacco-producing provinces.
The increase in tobacco excise tax is part of the administration’s second tranche of tax reform legislation.
Cayetano on Tuesday said “a vote for sin tax is a vote for our people’s health and well-being.”
She welcomed the President’s move to certify her bill as urgent.
“I am pushing for a version that recommends higher tax rates than those approved by the House of Representatives for two reasons: First, it will provide proper funding for the delivery of health services to all Filipinos; and second, it will effectively reduce the consumption of sin products,” Cayetano said.
“There is a need to increase sin taxes substantially for it to have any health impact. Otherwise, we will fall short at meeting our health objectives,” she added.
“We cannot save lives by increasing the price of a sin product by a negligible amount. We can only make this an effective measure when the price increase is substantial enough that people would think twice on the volume of the products they will purchase and consume,” Cayetano said.
Once a bill is certified as urgent, Congress can skip the three-day rule, allowing lawmakers to pass a measure on third reading immediately after it is passed on second reading.

2.2.0 About
Edit (pull request)Alien4Cloud means Application LIfecycle ENablement for Cloud. It is a project started by FastConnect in order to help enterprises adopting the cloud for their new or even existing applications in an Open way meaning with Open-Source model and standardization support in mind.
Why
Cloud Computing is becoming prime development and deployment model for a number of applications.
New applications being developed want to benefit from the agility and sometimes cost reduction implied by usage of Cloud technologies. Existing applications want to benefit as well from this model to be able to allow development and operations teams, managing the applications, to accelerate new features or maintenance pace.
This requires to implement agility principles and leverage proper tools, not only in development, but as well on the deployment phase along all the application lifecycle. As well agility is reached when proper collaboration between Dev and Ops teams, and their business sponsor, is achieved.
Even if a large number of solutions exist in the Cloud ecosystem, the ecosystem is not consolidated. Architectures, APIs, technologies and infrastructures are still evolving a lot. It leaves a lot of choice to the one willing to develop and deploy applications in the Cloud, but very often, the will to reach agility creates a lock-in to the choosen provider at some level : SaaS, PaaS or IaaS.
Knowing the investment term in the Applications from development to deployment (usually several years), and the legacy, it is important to protect the investment in the Application lifecycle, from moving parts, at any level possible.
What
Alien4Cloud aims at addressing some of these problems by providing the following capabilities :
- Ease the design and portability of Applications by leveraging TOSCA (an emerging standard driven by OASIS foundation)
- Isolate the application evolution from deployment technologies and infrastructures, allowing to integrate with any deployment layer and infrastructure
- Accelerate Application Infrastructure Design and improve reusability by providing a Components and Blueprints catalog
- Ease collaboration between Development and Deployment teams across the Application lifecycle in creating the Components and Blueprints to fill the catalog
- Integrate with existing Enterprise systems (Dev and Ops) through REST API and pluggable strategies
Check current roadmap for details on where we are and where we go.
Standard support
Alien4Cloud supports OASIS TOSCA an emerging standard addressing applications portability in the cloud.
We believe that applications cloud enablement should be done in an open way, free of any lock-in. No lock-in meaning that the application should freely move from one environment to the other with smallest effort possible. Therefore, it needs to abstract itself from the underlying infrastructure technical adherence, and define its infrastructure requirements and architecture, independently from each Cloud Provider’s Infrastructure Catalog. If not done, even if, technical compability between vendors could exist in theory (yet to be confirmed by reality), Infrastructure Catalog alignment between providers is very unlikely to happen as each provider is focusing in delivering best value to its customers and does not spend time aligning with others, especially when they may be competitors. As an analogy, can you easily compare your Telecom providers offerings ? We bet that the same will happen with Cloud providers, and it has already started.
TOSCA enables the expression of Application Requirements on the Infrastructure and its QOS/SLA, in an open way, opening the door to optimized placement of Applications in the Cloud Infrastructures based on customer choice at its heart.
We know about Infrastructure As Code, with TOSCA, we enter in to the era of “Application Requirements as Code” easing Application lifecycle management across several Cloud infrastructures.
By increasing service and application portability in a vendor-neutral ecosystem, TOSCA will enable :
-
Portable deployment to any compliant cloud
-
Smoother migration of existing applications to the cloud
-
Flexible bursting (consumer choice)
-
Dynamic, multi-cloud provider applications
Note: TOSCA Simple profile is a working draft and is not released yet to public. Current Alien 4 Cloud version is using a Alien 4 Cloud’s specific DSL that is really close to the latest TOSCA Simple Profile in YAML TC work.
Open-Source
We decided to build Alien4Cloud and give it to the community in order to allow Application Requirements modelling in a TOSCA format, in a collaborative way, between all participants involved in Application Infrastructure Requirements definition.
It is provided with an Apache 2 license in order to favour contributions from external teams or individuals. Please check our Contribute page to see how you can help.
What it is not
Alien4Cloud focuses on Design, Collaboration, Application Lifecycle Management and later Governance, but leverages other existing open source projects that help orchestrating cloud applications and which focus on runtime aspects such as Cloudify.
Alien4Cloud does not aim to provide applications deployment runtime.
We believe that there are already a number of viable options there (some of them not being TOSCA compliant, btw) and we want to integrate more than replace. We do it in an open way through plug-in approach to allow you to leverage your best tools or skills.
Status
1.4.2 is our latest version. If you wish to start a POC you can consider the 2.2.0 sprint milestones that will let you leverage the latests developed features.
Which version to choose ?
Basically the question depends on your timeframe, on the features you are looking from and on the support level you need.
- 1.4.2 is our most stable version and is the latest version that we support.
- 2.2.0 is still in development and things can change if you start using it. On the other hand all new features are developed in 2.2.0 so you may get more by choosing to start working with this version. We especially recommend that new POCs or project that will really start after we released the 2.2.0 (check our roadmap).

I am pursuing my Bachelor's of Technology in Computer Science Engineering from Galgotias University, Greater Noida, UP. New technologies and applications have made people's lives better and easier and to that aim I would like to develop applications which would cater to a large number of people. I have worked on projects in java and have started learning Web Development which is an emerging technology for developing webapps and websites.I'm also interested in BigData and problems related to BigData.
CheckMeUp is about creating Android application which is used by railway customers who want to avail medical facilities while travelling . They can input the symptoms of the illness and the medicine will be shown to the users. This application is only for generic medicine. The application also has a GUI feature in which you can choose your symptons at time of emergency.


Classdesc provides metaprogramming reflection support for functional
objects with the function.h
header. Provided in the
classdesc::functional
namespace are the following
metaprogramming templates:
Metaprogramming datatypes will have either a static data member
V
or a typename T
. In sympathy with classdesc's fairly
compact style, we use these compact names rather than Boost's
conventions of value
and type
. The is_
structure
use value
so as to be compatible with the use of
enable_if
(supplied in the classdesc.h
header).
The apply function takes and array of arguments of type Args. Args can
be a user defined type, but must be convertible to all the types used
by F. An example type is defined in javaClass_base.h
.
The return object is passed as parameter r
. This allows for the
possibility of void returns, in which case apply ignores what is
passed here (can pass NULL if F is known to have a void return type).


Vim documentation: farsi
main help file*farsi.txt* For Vim version 7.2. Last change: 2005 Mar 29 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Mortaza Ghassab Shiran Right to Left and Farsi Mapping for Vim *farsi* *Farsi* {Vi does not have any of these commands} *E27* In order to use right-to-left and Farsi mapping support, it is necessary to compile Vim with the |+farsi| feature. These functions have been made by Mortaza G. Shiran<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Introduction In right-to-left oriented files the characters appear on the screen from right to left. This kind of file is most useful when writing Farsi documents, composing faxes or writing Farsi memos. The commands, prompts and help files are not in Farsi, therefore the user interface remains the standard Vi interface. Highlights o Editing left-to-right files as in the original Vim, no change. o Viewing and editing files in right-to-left windows. File orientation is per window, so it is possible to view the same file in right-to-left and left-to-right modes, simultaneously. o Compatibility to the original Vim. Almost all features work in right-to-left mode (see bugs below). o Changing keyboard mapping and reverse insert modes using a single command. o Backing from reverse insert mode to the correct place in the file (if possible). o While in Farsi mode, numbers are entered from left to right. Upon entering a none number character, that character will be inserted just into the left of the last number. o No special terminal with right-to-left capabilities is required. The right-to-left changes are completely hardware independent. Only Farsi font is necessary. o Farsi keymapping on the command line in reverse insert mode. o Toggling between left-to-right and right-to-left via F8 function key. o Toggling between Farsi ISIR-3342 standard encoding and Vim Farsi via F9 function key. Since this makes sense only for the text written in right-to-left mode, this function is also supported only in right-to-left mode. Farsi Fonts *farsi fonts* If the "extra" archive has been unpacked, the following files are found in the subdirectories of the '$VIM/farsi' directory: + far-a01.pcf X Windows fonts for Unix including Linux systems + far-a01.bf X Windows fonts for SunOS + far-a01.f16 a screen fonts for Unix including Linux systems + far-a01.fon a monospaced fonts for Windows NT/95/98 + far-a01.com a screen fonts for DOS Font Installation o Installation of fonts for MS Window systems (NT/95/98) From 'Control Panel' folder, start the 'Fonts' program. Then from 'file' menu item select 'Install New Fonts ...'. Browse and select the 'far-a01.fon', then follow the installation guide. NOTE: several people have reported that this does not work. The solution is unknown. o Installation of fonts for X Window systems (Unix/Linux) Depending on your system, copy far-a01.pcf.Z or far-a01.pcf.gz into a directory of your choice. Change to the directory containing the Farsi fonts and execute the following commands: > mkfontdir > xset +fp path_name_of_farsi_fonts_directory o Installation of fonts for X Window systems (SunOS) Copy far-a01.bf font into a directory of your choice. Change to the directory containing the far-a01.fb fonts and execute the following commands: > fldfamily > xset +fp path_name_of_fonts_directory o Installation of ASCII screen fonts (Unix/Linux) For Linux system, copy the far-a01.f16 fonts into /usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts directory and execute the setfont program as "setfont far-a01.f16". For other systems (e.g. SCO Unix), please refer to the fonts installation section of your system administration manuals. o Installation of ASCII screen fonts (DOS) After system power on, prior to the first use of Vim, upload the Farsi fonts by executing the far-a01.com font uploading program. Usage Prior to starting Vim, the environment in which Vim can run in Farsi mode, must be set. In addition to installation of Farsi fonts, following points refer to some of the system environments, which you may need to set: Key code mapping, loading graphic card in ASCII screen mode, setting the IO driver in 8 bit clean mode ... . o Setting the Farsi fonts + For Vim GUI set the 'guifont' to far-a01. This is done by entering ':set guifont=far-a01' in the Vim window. You can have 'guifont' set to far-a01 by Vim during the Vim startup by appending the ':set guifont=far-a01' into your .vimrc file (in case of NT/95/98 platforms _vimrc). Under the X Window environment, you can also start Vim with the '-fn far-a01' option. + For Vim within a xterm, start a xterm with the Farsi fonts (e.g. kterm -fn far-a01). Then start Vim inside the kterm. + For Vim under DOS, prior to the first usage of Vim, upload the Farsi fonts by executing the far-a01.com fonts uploading program. o Farsi Keymapping Activation To activate the Farsi keymapping, set either 'altkeymap' or 'fkmap'. This is done by entering ':set akm' or ':set fk' in the Vim window. You can have 'altkeymap' or 'fkmap' set as default by appending ':set akm' or ':set fk' in your .vimrc file or _vimrc in case of NT/95/98 platforms. To turn off the Farsi keymapping as a default second language keymapping, reset the 'altkeymap' by entering ':set noakm'. o right-to-left Farsi Mode By default Vim starts in Left-to-right mode. Following are ways to change the window orientation: + Start Vim with the -F option (e.g. vim -F ...). + Use the F8 function key to toggle between left-to-right and right-to-left. + While in Left-to-right mode, enter 'set rl' in the command line ('rl' is the abbreviation for rightleft). + Put the 'set rl' line in your '.vimrc' file to start Vim in right-to-left mode permanently. Encoding The letter encoding used is the Vim extended ISIR-3342 standard with a built in function to convert between Vim extended ISIR-3342 and ISIR-3342 standard. For document portability reasons, the letter encoding is kept the same across different platforms (i.e. UNIX's, NT/95/98, MS DOS, ...). o Keyboard + CTRL-_ in insert/replace modes toggles between Farsi(akm)/Latin mode as follows: + CTRL-_ moves the cursor to the end of the typed text in edit mode. + CTRL-_ in command mode only toggles keyboard mapping between Farsi(akm)/ Latin. The Farsi text is then entered in reverse insert mode. + F8 - Toggles between left-to-right and right-to-left. + F9 - Toggles the encoding between ISIR-3342 standard and Vim extended ISIR-3342 (supported only in right-to-left mode). + Keyboard mapping is based on the Iranian ISIRI-2901 standard. Following table shows the keyboard mapping while Farsi(akm) mode set: ------------------------------------- ` 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - = ------------------------------------- ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + ~ ------------------------------------- q w e r t z u i o p [ ] ------------------------------------- Q W E R T Z U I O P { } ------------------------------------- a s d f g h j k l ; '' \ ------------------------------------- A S D F G H J K L : " | ------------------------------------- < y x c v b n m , . / ------------------------------------- > Y X C V B N M < > ? ------------------------------------- Note: Restrictions o In insert/replace mode and fkmap (Farsi mode) set, CTRL-B is not supported. o If you change the character mapping between Latin/Farsi, the redo buffer will be reset (emptied). That is, redo is valid and will function (using '.') only within the mode you are in. o While numbers are entered in Farsi mode, the redo buffer will be reset (emptied). That is, you cannot redo the last changes (using '.') after entering numbers. o While in left-to-right mode and Farsi mode set, CTRL-R is not supported. o While in right-to-left mode, the search on 'Latin' pattern does not work, except if you enter the Latin search pattern in reverse. o In command mode there is no support for entering numbers from left to right and also for the sake of flexibility the keymapping logic is restricted. o Under the X Window environment, if you want to run Vim within a xterm terminal emulator and Farsi mode set, you need to have an ANSI compatible xterm terminal emulator. This is because the letter codes above 128 decimal have certain meanings in the standard xterm terminal emulator. Note: Under X Window environment, Vim GUI works fine in Farsi mode. This eliminates the need of any xterm terminal emulator. Bugs While in insert/replace and Farsi mode set, if you repeatedly change the cursor position (via cursor movement) and enter new text and then try to undo the last change, the undo will lag one change behind. But as you continue to undo, you will reach the original line of text. You can also use U to undo all changes made in the current line. For more information about the bugs refer to rileft.txt. top - main help file


WITNESS LIST Elections Committee (Subcommittee on PROCESS & PROCEDURES) April 29, 1999-2:00P HB 2276 Committee Substitute (MADDEN) For: BLACK, ROBERT (REPUBLICAN PARTY OF TEXAS) On: COOK, HAROLD (TEXAS DEMOCRATIC PARTY)


HENRY & JUNE A film review by Doug Moran Copyright 1990 Doug Moran
TITLE: Henry and June REVIEWED BY: Douglas Moran DATE: November 2, 1990 SCALE: 1 (Plan 9 from Outer Space) to 10 (Casablanca)
OVERVIEW: A look at the relationship, erotic and literary, between Anais Nin, Henry Miller, and their respective spouses Hugo and June.
REVIEW: I'm sure by now we're all familiar with the hype surrounding the recent release of HENRY AND JUNE, the first film to receive the MPAA's newly minted NC-17 rating (which Tom Shales of NPR tells us stands for "Not in Cincinnati, or a 17 mile radius thereof"). It's been banned in some cities, and been called "an erotic masterpiece" in others. So what's the film like?
Well, first and foremost to my eye, it's a Philip Kaufman film (director of THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING). Every scene positively drips atmosphere. Everyone smokes, some gracefully. Kaufman has populated Nin's Paris with a remarkable collection of hookers, thiefs, and (bizarrely) wandering street magicians, who stiffen and relax ropes, make stolen wallets become doves, and other strange things that really have no bearing on anything, as far as I can tell. There are romantic fogs, poetic rainstorms, and dramatic thunder-and-lightning scenes. Kaufman's feel runs through the entire film; his thumbprint is on every scene.
Second, of course, it's about Nin and Miller, two writers of erotic literature, and players in the erotic lifestyle.
In the first instance, as an atmosphere film, it succeeds. The film lays it on a bit thick for my tastes, and the elements of drama lurch a little too much into the arena of melodrama, I think. But the atmosphere is maintained, and the film is beautiful to look at.
And as a display of acting talents, it's excellent. Fred Ward certainly makes the most of his role, as does Maria de Madeiros. Uma Thurman made me actively dislike her and feel uncomfortable when she was on screen, quite a contrast to my reactions to her previous roles in BARON MUNCHAUSEN and DANGEROUS LIAISONS. The only character who seems weak is Hugo, and it is difficult to say whether this is the fault of a very weak character, or poor acting, although I am inclined to think it is the former.
Finally we come to the story. As a story, this film is somewhat uneven. This is not what you would call a classic conflict/resolution drama; it is more the story of Anais Nin's coming of age, and Henry Miller (and his wife June) was the catalyst for that coming of age. While I found her story interesting, it was certainly less than fascinating for me, and I left the theatre feeling somewhat unfulfilled. How did this relationship change her life? How did it change Henry Miller's life? What happened to the two marriages? The film remains mute on these subjects, and left me somewhat frustrated.
As for the erotic elements, they have been overadvertised as far as I can see. There are certainly a lot of breasts and buttocks shown on the screen, and a number of fairly graphic (but certainly far from hardcore) lovemaking scenes, but none of them really struck me as erotic. Most of the sex in this film struck me as more animalistic and desperate than erotic. Unless you find raw rut erotic, you probably won't find this film very erotic. There are those that might argue that what we saw wasn't "raw rut," but it certainly looked that way to me.
Overall, an interesting film that was worth seeing. I think you absolutely have to suspend your disbelief, and if you can, you will enjoy this movie. If you can't, the atmosphere and melodrama might get in your way. Certainly not an erotic masterpiece, but also far from being a dog. I give it a 6.

Deputy is the part of Ivy that enforces type discipline on C programs. Among other things, it verifies that pointers stay within their designated bounds, and it ensures that union fields are used safely.
In order to get type safety using Deputy, you must first supply some lightweight type annotations. For the most part, these annotations are required on function arguments and return values, structure fields, and global variables--that is, the interfaces to each source file. Deputy's annotations are designed to reflect common programming idioms; for example, you can easily say that a pointer p points to an array of length n, where n is another variable in the program. Deputy then verifies your program through a combination of compile-time and run-time checking. This approach allows us to verify a wide range of real-world programs (even Linux device drivers!) in return for a slight performance penalty.
Deputy differs from previous tools for safe C compilation in that it allows the programmer to specify pointer bounds and union tags using dependent types--that is, using annotations that depend on other variables or fields in your program. As a result, Deputy requires fewer modifications to the original program and makes less invasive changes to the program during compilation. Deputy produces object files that can be linked directly to object files produced by other compilers; thus, the programmer can choose to enable Deputy on a file-by-file basis, and programs compiled with Deputy can be linked directly with existing C libraries.
An earlier version of Deputy is available as a standalone tool at http://deputy.cs.berkeley.edu.
Deputy is part of Ivy, whose ivycc driver is a drop-in replacement for gcc. To enable Deputy's checks, you must pass the --deputy option to ivycc. Thus, for example, if you want to compile the C source file foo.c to the object file foo.o, you can use the following command:
If you're using Deputy on an existing C project, all you need to do is to set the CC variable in your Makefile to ivycc --deputy.
The object files produced by Deputy are compatible with object files produced by gcc, so you can link them with the standard linker. However, Deputy-generated object files need to eventually be linked with Deputy's runtime library, which has code to handle run-time failures. If you use ivycc as your linker (much as gcc is often used as the linker), the runtime library will automatically be linked when an executable is created. For example, to link foo.o and bar.o to create an executable foobar, you can use the following command:
Using Deputy is much like the familiar edit-compile-debug cycle for any other compiler. When you run Deputy on a C file, it will emit a number of warnings and errors that either suggest annotations or indicate errors. Your job as the programmer is to address these warnings and errors by adding annotations or changing code.
For example, consider the following code:
Assuming this code is in a file called sum.c, we could compile it as follows:
We got a warning, but it compiled. Now let's build a program that calls the sum() function with an array of length 5.
Note that we compiled the test code with gcc, since the resulting object files can be linked directly with the ones produced by ivycc. Note also that we linked with ivycc so that we get Deputy's runtime library.
Now let's run this program:
The reason for this assertion is that Deputy assumed that the data argument to sum() pointed to a single integer, not an array of integers. When the sum() function attempted to access integers beyond the first element of this array, a Deputy run-time error was triggered. Note that the warning provided by Deputy at compile time indicated that something about this code was fishy.
We can fix this error by adding an annotation to the int* type, as follows:
This annotation tells Deputy that length stores the length of data. Now if we compile and run the above program, we will see no warnings or errors:
Deputy provides many such annotations to describe common programming idioms. In the following sections, we will discuss Deputy's pointer annotations in detail.
Most Deputy annotations are written as type annotations that are written immediately after the type to which they are attached. For example:
This code declares a variable p of type int * SAFE. In this example, SAFE is a Deputy annotation attached to the pointer type int *. In general, any annotations appearing after a * apply to that pointer type.
Here is another example:
This example shows the Deputy annotations for main. The NTS annotation applies to the first pointer (the inner char *), and the NT and COUNT(argc) annotations apply to the second pointer (the outer char **). Overall, this annotation says that argv is a null-terminated sequence with a minimum length of argc. Each element of this sequence is a null-terminated string. (These annotations will be discussed in detail below!)
The first Deputy annotation that we will introduce is the "safe" pointer. Safe pointers are possibly-null pointers to a single object of their base type. For example:
This code declares a pointer p that is either null or points to a single object of type struct foo.
Safe pointers are typically used much like Java references: they can be passed around and dereferenced, but they are not used in pointer arithmetic. Such pointers are by far the most common kind of pointers in C programs.
When you dereference a safe pointer, Deputy will insert a null check (or its equivalent). However, if your code has already checked this pointer to ensure that it is non-null, Deputy's optimizer will most likely remove the Deputy-inserted null check. Deputy's will also issue compile-time errors for obviously-incorrect code such as p[1].
If you are sure that the pointer is never null, you can add the NONNULL annotation. For example:
Since this pointer is annotated as both SAFE and NONNULL, it can typically be dereferenced at zero run-time cost.
Of course, many C programs use pointers to point to arrays of objects. Such pointers can be annotated as "count" pointers:
This annotation says that p is either null or it points to an array of five valid objects of type struct foo. For the visually inclined, the memory layout is as follows, where each blue box represents an object of type struct foo:
Note that the SAFE annotation introduced earlier is actually equivalent to COUNT(1). Also note that this annotation can be written as CT instead of COUNT if you prefer terse annotations.
In addition to using the count annotation with constants, the count annotation can also refer to other variables in the same scope or to more complex expressions. For example:
Here, we've declared that p is a pointer to an array of n * m objects of type struct foo (a two-dimensional array, perhaps). Visually, we have the following memory layout:
If we refer to an element p[i] of this array, Deputy will verify that p is non-null and that 0 <= i < n * m.
When count annotations refer to variables, they may refer only to variables in the immediately enclosing scope. For example, annotations on local variables may only refer to other local variables, and annotations on structure fields may only refer to other structure fields. Furthermore, these annotations may not include memory dereferences or function calls. These restrictions allow Deputy to efficiently verify that a variable's type annotation is valid for the duration of that variable's lifetime.
Finally, note that count annotations (and indeed, all Deputy annotations) must be valid throughout the variable's lifetime. Thus, in the previous example, Deputy will prevent you from incrementing n or m, since this change might invalidate the annotation on p. Furthermore, p cannot be incremented, because then p would no longer point to an array of n * m elements. (If you're worried that this sounds too restrictive, bear with me until the section on automatic bounds!)
The most general annotation provided by Deputy is the "bound" annotation, which is written as follows:
This annotation says that p is either null or points into an array of objects of type struct foo with bounds b and e. All of these pointers (p, b, and e) must be aligned with respect to the size of struct foo. Visually, the memory layout is:
As with the count annotation, the arguments b and e can actually be expressions that refer to other variables or fields in the same scope. The same restrictions that apply to count pointers apply here as well. As with the count annotation, you can write BND as the terse form of BOUND.
In this annotation, the expressions b and e can make use of the special variable __this, which refers to the variable, field, or expression to which this type is attached. So, for example, the annotation BOUND(__this, __this + n) says that the bounds of the associated pointer are the pointer itself and the pointer plus n elements. In fact, this is precisely how COUNT(n) is defined!
One final pointer annotation to be discussed is the sentinel pointer. In Deputy, the sentinel annotation, written SNT, indicates that a pointer is used only for comparisons and not for dereference. Such pointers are useful mainly for indicating the bounds of other pointers. They are also useful for C idioms where the program computes the address of the end of an array.
In terms of the general bounded pointer, a sentinel pointer is equivalent to BOUND(__this, __this)--that is, the pointer is both its upper and lower bound.
The annotations introduced thus far allow you to specify pointer bounds by referring to other nearby variables. However, bounds for arrays are sometimes indicated using null termination instead.
Deputy handles null-termination with an additional annotation, NT, that can be used in addition to the previously-discussed bounds annotations. In other words, you have the option of specifying NT in addition to BOUND or one of its shorthands (SAFE, COUNT, and SNT).
The meaning of this annotation is that the upper bound given by the BOUND annotation is the beginning of a null-terminated sequence. So, the annotation NT COUNT(5) describes an array of five elements followed by a null-terminated sequence (or, in other words, a null-terminated sequence of at least five elements). This annotation allows the null element to be read but not overwritten with a non-zero value. A sequence with no known bounds (e.g., a standard C string) is written as NT COUNT(0), which can be abbreviated as NTS.
In its most general form, the annotation NT BOUND(b, e) corresponds to the following memory layout:
Note that the initial portion of the array is laid out in the same way as BOUND(b, e); the only difference is that we have a null-terminated sequence (shown as the pink boxes) at the end.
This hybrid design is important in ensuring that bounded sequences and null-terminated sequences interact cleanly. For example, C programs often have stack-allocated arrays that have a known size and are null-terminated. If we did not mark it as null-terminated, we would not be able to call strlen() and its like on this buffer. If we marked it as null-terminated only, then we would not be able to insert null elements in this buffer without cutting off access to the remainder of the buffer.
Note that it is always legal to cast away the NT flag; for example, a NT COUNT(5) sequence can safely be considered to be a COUNT(5) sequence, although you lose access to the null-terminated portion of the array. This operation can be performed with the NTDROP(e) function.
One complication with NTDROP is that you lose a lot of bounds information. For example, strings are typically annotated char * NTS, and calling NTDROP on such a value results in a value of type char * COUNT(0), which is not very useful. Thus, we also provide NTEXPAND(e), which expands the bounds of the expression e dynamically. So, NTDROP(NTEXPAND(e)) yields a non-null-terminated type with the largest legal bounds.
Deputy has stricter checking of type casts than C itself. First, Deputy checks to make sure that the bounds of the type being cast are correct. For example, a COUNT(5) pointer could be cast to a COUNT(4) pointer, but not the other way around. When necessary, Deputy will insert run-time checks to verify that such casts are safe. Since all the bounds annotations are special cases of BOUND, they can all be cast freely from one to the other.
Deputy also ensures that the NT flag is either present or absent on both sides of the cast. (In fact, Deputy infers the NT flag in these situations, as we will discuss in the next section.) The only way to drop the NT flag is to use the NTDROP function discussed above. The NT flag can never be added by a cast; it must be present from the point of allocation forward.
Finally, Deputy checks the base types of pointers involved in a cast. For example, you are not allowed to blindly cast an int ** to an int *, since otherwise you could overwrite a pointer with an integer. Similarly, you are not allowed to cast a non-pointer type to a pointer. However, when casting between pointers to non-pointer data (e.g., int * to char *), Deputy will allow the cast.
If you must use a cast that Deputy doesn't like, you can use the TC(e) function to perform a trusted cast from an expression e to some new type. For example, the following cast will be accepted by Deputy:
Alternatively, any pointer can be labelled as trusted by using the TRUSTED annotations. Trusted pointers can be cast to any other pointer without compile-time or run-time checks. Similarly, these pointers can be incremented or decremented without restriction. (In fact, the TC operation is implemented as a cast to a TRUSTED pointer of the same type.)
Deputy has several inference features that reduce the number of annotations required for type checking. Most of these features operate behind the scenes, but it is important for the programmer to be aware of what they do.
Any types that may be visible by code outside the current compilation unit are given the default annotation of SAFE. These types include the types of global variables, function arguments, function return values, structure fields, and the base types of other pointers. This annotation is correct in the vast majority of cases, so it is quite useful for the programmer to be able to omit it.
However, it is important to note that this assumption is not safe and is provided only for convenience. For example, imagine that your code calls a function foo(char *p) in another module. If this function expects a null-terminated string and we assume a SAFE annotation, then Deputy would allow you to pass a pointer to a single character when a string was expected. Fortunately, such errors will be detected when running Deputy on the code for foo() itself; furthermore, header files for standard libraries should soon be fully annotated. In the near future, we will include an option to warn the programmer about such assumptions.
For the types of local variables and types appearing in casts, Deputy can do a bit more to help the programmer. In these situations, Deputy assumes that unannotated types have the annotation BOUND(__auto, __auto). In this context, __auto is a special keyword that instructs Deputy to generate a new variable to hold and track the appropriate bound. For example, say we have the following declaration:
After preprocessing, this code becomes:
Note that we have introduced two new bounds variables to track the bounds of p, and we updated these bounds variables when p was updated.
These automatic bounds variables are very useful beyond their ability to reduce the annotation burden. In many cases, programmers wish to explicitly introduce new bounds variables when existing code is not amenable to annotation. As mentioned earlier, COUNT pointers cannot be incremented; however, if you copy a COUNT pointer into an unannotated pointer, then this unannotated pointer can be incremented, since its bounds are stored in two fresh variables.
In addition to the above inference, Deputy also infers NT annotations using somewhat more traditional means. Essentially, any pointer that is casted to/from or assigned to/from an NT pointer becomes NT itself. Of course, this inference algorithm understands the NTDROP function and does not propagate NT across this operation.
This feature reduces the burden of NT annotation dramatically, but it can also infer unintended NT annotations. In most cases, this problem results from a common function like memset(). If an NT pointer is inadvertendly passed to memset() without using NTDROP, the NT flag will be propagated to memset()'s argument and from there to all other pointers passed to memset(), most of which are not NT. To solve this problem, search for common functions like memset() and make sure to use NTDROP when appropriate.
In addition to pointer bounds errors, unions provide another source of unsafety in C programs. As with pointer bounds, Deputy provides a way to annotate common idioms used to ensure the safety of unions.
In Deputy, each union field must be annotated with a predicate indicating the condition that must hold when that field of the union is currently active. For example, consider the following annotated C code:
Without any checking, this union is potentially unsafe, because a program could write an aribtary integer to the field u.n and then read it out as a pointer by reading u.p. The WHEN annotations indicate that the n field can only be accessed when tag is 1, and the p field can only be accessed when tag is 2. When changing the tag, the contents of the union must be zero, which is assumed to be a valid value for all data types.
There are a few differences between the usage of this annotation and the usage of the pointer bounds annotations. First, if the WHEN fields refer to variables, they must be variables in the same scope as the union, not fields of the union itself. (In the above example, we refer to tag as opposed to n and p.) Second, these annotations are placed on the union fields themselves, not on their types--that is, they appear after the field name. The reason for these differences is that the WHEN fields are conceptually annotations on the union type, not on the fields of the union.
As with bounded pointers, unions can be trusted when the tag annotations are insufficient. To do so, simply place the TRUSTED annotation on the union itself. For example:
C programmers typically use void * in cases where a number of different types may be used. However, casts to and from this void * are not checked for safety. Deputy provides parametric polymorphism to handle some of these cases.
Function arguments can be treated as polymorphic. Instead of writing void *, use the type TV(t), which stands for "type variable named t". Any occurrences of this type that have the same name t must be the same type for any particular call to this function. For example:
In Deputy, the above code is well-typed. Note that apply can safely be instantiated on two different types, but those types must be used consistently for any particular call to apply. Note also that you can use several distinct type variables if you give them different names (i.e., change t to something else).
For practical reasons, Deputy requires that TV(t) is only instantiated to types that can fit in a machine word, like an integer or pointer--basically, anything that you were previously casting to/from a void *.
Within a polymorphic function, you may not make any assumptions about data whose type is a type variable. All you can do is copy this data to other variables with the same type variable type. The body of apply would look like this:
This call to fn is only legal because data and the first argument to fn both have type TV(t).
You can also use polymorphism within a structure. In our current implementation, structures may only have one type variable, which must be named t. (These restrictions will be lifted in a future version.) When using such a structure, you must use the annotation TP to specify the type on which it is instantiated. For example:
Here we declare two lists, one a list of int and one a list of int *, as specified by TP. Within the declaration of struct list, we say that this type is the type of the data element, and that the next pointer points to another list cell that is instantiated on the same type.
Note that the TP annotation goes on the structure type itself, not the pointer; therefore, it appears before the * when declaring a pointer to a polymorphic structure.
Several standard C functions require special handling. This section discusses the annotations used to identify those functions.
Deputy requires the programmer to annotate any functions that behave as allocators or deallocators. These annotations identify arguments that hold the size of the requested block as well as arguments that are (directly) deallocated by the function. These annotations allow Deputy to make sense of the void * types typically used for allocator results and deallocator arguments.
The standard allocation functions are annotated as follows:
First note that these annotations are placed on the function type using the parenthetical syntax shown above. The DALLOC annotation takes an expression indicating the size of the allocated block. (This argument is a full expression, so calloc can be annotated by multiplying the two arguments.) The DREALLOC annotations indicates the name of the argument that is freed as well as the size of the reallocated block, as above. The DFREE annotation indicates the name of the argument that is freed.
Deputy currently does not ensure that the allocated block is zeroed. This feature will soon be implemented for malloc, but it is difficult to implement for realloc, since Deputy does not know the size of the original allocated block. Changing the implementations of malloc and realloc may be appropriate in the long run.
Functions such as memset, memcmp, and memcpy have annotations similar to the allocator annotations above. Deputy has special handling for these functions that allows many different types to be used with the void * arguments as long as they are used appropriately.
These annotations are subject to change soon and are therefore not documented here. Examples can be found in the header files!
We welcome any and all feedback regarding Deputy (and Ivy in general). If you have any comments, suggestions, or bug reports, please send them to the Ivy team.


This program is an older OpenGL based terrain loader. The program loads in a greyscale heightmap and generates the terrain based on height values stored in the image. This version uses the DevIL image library which allows it to load a wide variety of file formats. Several textures are loaded, these include the ground texture, the detail texture and the water texture. A simple method of creating a water plane is to create a plane at a certain level for example a y axis height of -10, then animate the UV coordinates of the plane so that the water appears to move.
The detail texture allows the ground to have far more “detail” than normal. Usually a detail texture is a perlin noise or similar that is blended with the ground texture. Below is the image of a loaded heightmap.
I was going to post the source code to this example, but the code uses a triangle list method without any level of detail, so once I get the time to update this program and change the display method to a vertex buffer and add some other features I will post the code for other people to learn from.

TOTO THE HERO A film review by Mark R. Leeper Copyright 1992 Mark R. Leeper
Capsule review: The reminiscences of a man who blames all the pain of his life on a friend with whom he believes he was switched at birth. Childhood and adult fantasy intertwine with reality as Thomas (nicknamed Toto) plots his revenge on Alfred. Strange but likable film. Rating: low +2 (-4 to +4). (Warning: there are spoilers in this review.)
Thomas van Hasbroeck is unstuck in time. Well, in fact his whole family was a little unstrung in various ways.  Through life, every misfortune Thomas suffered he blamed on Alfred.  Thomas blamed Alfred for the loss of the two women he loved. One was his sister Alice, who was attractive and had a natural flair for arson and incest. Later it was Evelyne, who loved Thomas but married Alfred. All this is a set of disjointed reminiscences of the old Thomas as he plans his revenge on Alfred. At each age, we see Thomas's fantasies of revenge against the dastardly usurper Alfred. Usually they are framed as scenes from a spy film about the great Toto--Toto is Thomas's nickname. And part of what the film is about is the function of fantasy as an important part of how we see reality. Thomas must know that he is making most of his fantasies up, but they impact strongly on his world view.
Flashing forward and backward in time, we see little enigmatic memories as flashes that will later be fleshed out. Eventually we discover that the film has played a nifty little sleight-of-hand on us--a double sleight-of- hand, in fact.
The director and screenwriter of this Belgian-French-German production is Jaco van Dormael, who went from being a clown to being a children's theater director to being a film director. He has fun with children and the way they look at the world.
This film has been getting a lot of positive comment after appearing at several film festivals. It is a little slight for the comment it is getting, but it is worth seeing. I give TOTO THE HERO a low +2 on the -4 to +4 scale.

Cubans Pay Tribute to Fidel Castro on the 3rd Anniversary of his Passing
by RHCCuba is paying tribute on Monday to the historic leader of the Revolution, Fidel Castro, with many tributes dedicated to remembering his legacy on the third anniversary of his physical passing.
Havana, Cuba.- Three years after his departure for immortality, Fidel lives in the affection of his people and the admiration of good people around the world, various articles of national media say on the occasion of the anniversary.
Writing on Twitter, Cuban president, Miguel Díaz-Canel, said: 'How to remember Fidel? Assuming his legacy as ours, confronting imperialism with courage and firmness, working and thinking for the people, fighting for a better world."
On the steps of the University of Havana, the University Student Federation, the Young Communist League, and people from all walks of life will participate in a political and cultural evening to remember Fidel.
Meanwhile, hundreds of people are expected to go to the patrimonial cemetery Santa Ifigenia in Santiago de Cuba, where his ashes are interred.
According to data provided by the management of the necropolis, during the three years since his passing, more than one million 800 thousand people have visited Santa Ifigenia to express in the most different ways their respect and admiration for the historical leader of the Cuban Revolution.
"They come alone or in groups, in visits promoted by work and study centers or by the family," says Juventud Rebelde newspaper.
"They come and go, without worrying if there is a drizzle or if the sun is inclement. Among them are scientists, farmers, soldiers, artists, grandparents, and children," added the paper. (RHC)

Bard
Appearances: FF3, FF4, FF5, FFX-2, FF11, FFT, FFTA2
Aliases: Songstress
The spooniest of all job classes. The bard's primary job is support through singing songs which affect either the party's or enemies' status through their equipped harps. Their other ability is hiding from battle, which essentially means reducing the party by one, then leaving that one weak member to fend for himself if everyone dies. They have poor strength and can't do much on their own. They are generally seen as one of the worst job classes, especially in the earlier games.
