Ethiopia to create twenty million jobs
In the coming ten years the government of Ethiopia aims to facilitate the creation of twenty million jobs in different sectors.
by newbusinessethiopiaBy 2025 we strive to create 15 million jobs. And by 2030 we do our best to get to a point where we have 20 million jobs, “said Ephrem Tekle (PhD), Jobs Creation Commissioner of Ethiopia.
“The vision is to create 20 million jobs because there is this greater challenge of addressing the need of young people, which will require us to build the right set of skills,” he said.
Explaining on how the government plans to create the jobs, Dr. Ephram indicated that information technology including mobile technology is one of the sectors that is expected to generate many jobs for the growing number of you youth in Ethiopia.
He also stated that agriculture mainly irrigation based will be the major job creation area. Tourism, hospitality, miming and manufacturing sectors are also among the priority job creation areas identified by the Ethiopian government.
Currently two million youth in Ethiopia enter the job market every year meanwhile only half of them are getting jobs, according to the state agency report.
Some ten million youth are looking for job in Ethiopia, according to Dr. Ephrem, who spoke at the panel discussion on the sidelines of Fintech Africa Summit in Addis Ababa on Thursday.
In Ethiopia it is estimated that there are around 1.6 million civil servants (government employees) and some 1.9 million recruited by the private sector.


AS GOOD AS IT GETS
A Film Review by Brian Takeshita
Rating: ***1/2 out of ****
Jack Nicholson has a funny way of playing characters with very few redeeming qualities, but whom you end up liking anyway. In AS GOOD AS IT GETS, the character in question is Melvin Udall, a successful novelist with obsessive-compulsive disorder who seems bent on having as little contact with people around him as possible, except when he feels like being a royal pain in the you-know-where. He's mean. I mean really mean.
Every day, Melvin eats at the same cafe, sits at the same table, and gets served by the same waitress. You can tell that this is his favorite place to be a vicious nuisance, when his waitress Carol (Helen Hunt) tells him he can just go sit in another section, and all the other waitresses just cringe. One day, Melvin makes a comment that goes to far, and Carol, genuinely hurt, comes down on him like a ton of bricks. At that point we find that she is not only the only person who can put up with him as a matter of course, but is also the only person who can get to him, too.
Another person who often crosses Melvin's sights is Simon (Greg Kinnear), an artist who lives on Melvin's floor. Aside from the fact that he lives near the terror of the city, Simon has the added benefit of being gay, making him a prime target. Simon's friend Frank (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), also gay, does not fare much better. When Simon walks in on a pair of men robbing his apartment, he is brutally beaten and sent to the hospital, and Frank, who has grown tired of seeing his friend take the verbal abuse dished out by his neighbor, intimidates Melvin into watching after Simon's dog while he convalesces. This is the same dog Melvin had earlier shoved down the garbage.
An interesting thing happens when Melvin takes this dog in: Melvin gets to like the dog, and the two develop an attachment which is the catalyst to Melvin's softening up to the world around him. It doesn't happen overnight, but throughout the film, he bites his tongue here, cares a little there, and most miraculously, falls in love. One of the best elements of this film is watching Melvin try to express feelings which are not the usual negative ones he so often shares with others. He's traveling terra incognita here, and it shows.
Good performances are turned in by all principal players in this film, especially by Nicholson and Hunt. They play well off of each other and have a genuine chemistry which makes it a pleasure to watch them on screen. Greg Kinnear, who is becoming known for his supporting film roles, is also very good at playing the vulnerable Simon. He gives a short monologue about what it means for him to be an artist, and delivers it with such inspiration and conviction that you actually get to feel some of what he feels. Cuba Gooding Jr. performs with a hyped-up level of energy which contrasts nicely with that of Kinnear, and comes through with a near constant comic performance.
The screenplay, by Mark Andrus and James L. Brooks, is clever, touching, and funny. The best part about it, however, is that it is filled with characters we care about because they are actually interesting. Melvin is a man we can't quite figure out, but whose mannerisms and quirky qualities capture our attention. Carol is a working woman living with her mother, trying to take care of a child with a debilitating respiratory problem. Simon is a man who is a success in his circle of peers, but who is still not accepted by much of society. Combined with the talent of the actors, these characters make the film. The one noticeable area where the film is lacking, however, is the absence of Cuba Gooding, Jr. through the second half. His character makes an exit which is supposed to be temporary, but the film ends before his return, leaving his relationship with Simon and Melvin unresolved. I would have liked to have seen more of his character in general, in addition to a part in the film's conclusion.
There's one actor, who will probably not be recognized by any awards, but who contributes greatly to many of the movie's best scenes and who deserves mention. This is that little dog. He plays such a pivotal role to Melvin's character development, actually serves to forward the plot, and has some absolutely scene-stealing moments, that it is hard to believe he is simply an animal. Award or no, however, when even the dog puts in a good performance, you know you've got an outstanding movie.

The multi sig was more for a public pooled staking thing we are doing.
A few of the members from the Ginasis Pool, had a private thing going, where we all sent our verus yo a single wallet, therefore increasing its balance, and therefore, the likelihood that we would get more blocks from the POS.
However, we are looking to now take it public due to the fantastic results the 10 of us achieved from out private pool.
We did it to help even out some of the randomness, and to create another stream of income from out combined efforts. I personally was the one responsible for keeping track of the eearnings and the fair and even distribution to the participants, based in their contribution amount into the pool.
We at Ginasis, recognize that there needs to be a MASSIVE level of trust in that you need to sent your verus yo someone, whom you have likley never met, and at the end of the day, there is nothing to stop them stealing it from you. This was an issue for us in our private group aswell, where a few members had met eachother face to face, but as we are all from a few different states in australia, we havent all met. However, we all had a go, and a bit of trust, and it just escalated from there, out first pooled week was about 12k verus. And our highest week was nearly 30k.
The multisig was mentioned as a way of preventing having never met people from been an issue, as it would require 2 or more separate people to sign off on the TX out of the combined pool wallet, so, if you can have that, it can then be used to instill a huge layer of trust, as you could have a few of the high standing members in the verus community as authorized signatories to send anything out of the wallet.
I hope that makes sense. And I hope you see the value in multisig. But i understand it's not needed for most things.
Apparantly, it is supported, and we are looking into it. But we are not 100% certain of this, and we are by no means coders of any sort.


2. Precipitation: cumulative.
Note:
3. Precipitation: nocturnal fraction.
Note:
4. FIFE output.
Model output in this section is from the model gridpoint closest to the FIFE region (39 N, 96.5 W). FIFE observations are from the instrument-average dataset produced by Betts and Ball (JAS,1998).
DIURNAL CYCLE
Time average diurnal cycle of surface fluxes [W/m-m], postive
downward: latent heat flux, sensible heat flux, downward longwave,
upward longwave, incident solar, reflected solar. Model output
computed from the 3-hourly archive. Points plotted in the middle of
each 3-h period of the day.
TIME SERIES
Time series of surface fluxes vs. FIFE obs. To ease viewing of overall behavior, all curves have been subjected to a 5-day running average.
Two curves are shown for the FIFE output. For each time step in their data, Betts and Ball give the standard deviation of the observed values as well as their average. The FIFE curves are the average value +/- one standard deviation, to give a measure of how well models match FIFE observations.
Betts and Ball express some caution about the 1988 latent heat flux measurements. 1988 latent heat fluxes are just as strong as 1987 fluxes, even though 1988 was a drought. Also, FIFE (E-P) does not match measured soil moisture changes. There could be several reasons for these features in the FIFE data. Caution must be exercised in the comparisons.

Support for the MaxDB database.
Overview
The maxdb dialect is experimental and has only been tested on <IP_ADDRESS>
and <IP_ADDRESS>. Of these, only <IP_ADDRESS> will work with SQLAlchemy’s ORM.
The earlier version has severe LEFT JOIN limitations and will return
incorrect results from even very simple ORM queries.
Only the native Python DB-API is currently supported. ODBC driver support
is a future enhancement.
Implementation Notes
With the <IP_ADDRESS> driver and Python 2.5, it seems that all DB-API
generated exceptions are broken and can cause Python to crash.
For ‘somecol.in_([])’ to work, the IN operator’s generation must be changed
to cast ‘NULL’ to a numeric, i.e. NUM(NULL). The DB-API doesn’t accept a
bind parameter there, so that particular generation must inline the NULL value,
which depends on [ticket:807].
The DB-API is very picky about where bind params may be used in queries.
Bind params for some functions (e.g. MOD) need type information supplied.
The dialect does not yet do this automatically.
 The dialect does not currently handle these, more
research is needed.
MaxDB 7.5 and Sap DB <= 7.4 reportedly do not support schemas. A very
slightly different version of this dialect would be required to support
those versions, and can easily be added if there is demand. Some other
required components such as an Max-aware ‘old oracle style’ join compiler
(thetas with (+) outer indicators) are already done and available for
integration- email the devel list if you’re interested in working on
this.
Versions tested: <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>, native Python DB-API
- MaxDB has severe limitations on OUTER JOINs, which are essential to ORM
eager loading. And rather than raise an error if a SELECT can’t be serviced,
the database simply returns incorrect results.
- Version <IP_ADDRESS> seems to JOIN properly, however the docs do not show the
OUTER restrictions being lifted (as of this writing), and no changelog is
available to confirm either. If you are using a different server version and
your tasks require the ORM or any semi-advanced SQL through the SQL layer,
running the SQLAlchemy test suite against your database is HIGHLY
recommended before you begin.
- Version <IP_ADDRESS> is LHS/RHS sensitive in FROM lhs LEFT OUTER JOIN rhs ON
lhs.col=rhs.col vs rhs.col=lhs.col!
- Version <IP_ADDRESS> is confused by SELECT DISTINCT col as alias FROM t ORDER
BY col - these aliased, DISTINCT, ordered queries need to be re-written to
order by the alias name.
- Version 7.6.x supports creating a SAVEPOINT but not its RELEASE.
- MaxDB supports autoincrement-style columns (DEFAULT SERIAL) and independent
sequences. When including a DEFAULT SERIAL column in an insert, 0 needs to
be inserted rather than NULL to generate a value.
- MaxDB supports ANSI and “old Oracle style” theta joins with (+) outer join
indicators.
- The SQLAlchemy dialect is schema-aware and probably won’t function correctly
on server versions (pre-7.6?). Support for schema-less server versions could
be added if there’s call.
- ORDER BY is not supported in subqueries. LIMIT is not supported in
subqueries. In <IP_ADDRESS>, TOP does work in subqueries, but without limit not
so useful. OFFSET does not work in 7.6 despite being in the docs. Row number
tricks in WHERE via ROWNO may be possible but it only seems to allow
less-than comparison!
- Version <IP_ADDRESS> can’t LIMIT if a derived table is in FROM: SELECT * FROM
(SELECT * FROM a) LIMIT 2
- MaxDB does not support sql’s CAST and can only usefullly cast two types.
There isn’t much implicit type conversion, so be precise when creating
PassiveDefaults in DDL generation: ‘3’ and 3 aren’t the same.
sapdb.dbapi
- As of 2007-10-22 the Python 2.4 and 2.5 compatible versions of the DB-API
are no longer available. A forum posting at SAP states that the Python
driver will be available again “in the future”. The last release from MySQL
AB works if you can find it.
- sequence.NEXTVAL skips every other value!
- No rowcount for executemany()
- If an INSERT into a table with a DEFAULT SERIAL column inserts the results
of a function INSERT INTO t VALUES (LENGTH(‘foo’)), the cursor won’t have
the serial id. It needs to be manually yanked from tablename.CURRVAL.
- Super-duper picky about where bind params can be placed. Not smart about
converting Python types for some functions, such as MOD(5, ?).
- LONG (text, binary) values in result sets are read-once. The dialect uses a
caching RowProxy when these types are present.
- Connection objects seem like they want to be either `close()`d or garbage
collected, but not both. There’s a warning issued but it seems harmless.

Since 1999, CDC has measured phthalate metabolites in
human urine to assess exposure to phthalates (CDC 2017). Di-2-ethylhexyl
phthalate (DEHP) is a commonly used plasticizer. The use of DEHP in the U.S.
market appears to be decreasing, at least in part because of legislative
efforts, while the use of di-isononyl phthalate (DiNP), one of the replacements
of DEHP, and other phthalate alternatives, may be rising (Calafat et al.
2011;Zota et al. 2014). Di-2-ethylhexyl terephthalate (DEHTP), a
structural isomer of DEHP and one of such alternatives, has been used as a
plasticizer for polymers contained in consumer products (Beeler 1976). To
better understand exposure to phthalates alternatives, we quantified
mono-2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl terephthalate (MEHHTP),
mono-2-ethyl-5-carboxypentyl terephthalate (MECPTP), two metabolites of DEHTP,
and monooxoisononyl phthalate (MONP), an additional metabolite of DiNP, in one
third subsample of participants 3+ years of age from NHANES 2015-2016.
All participants aged
3-5 years old and an one-third sample of participants aged 6 and older from
NHANES 2015-2016 with stored urine.
We measured urinary MEHHTP, MECPTP and MONP by an on-line solid phase extraction coupled with isotope dilution-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry approach previously described (Silva et al. 2013).
Refer to the Laboratory Method Files section for detailed laboratory procedure manual(s) of the methods used.
There were no
changes to the lab equipment or lab site for this component compared with those
used for measuring other phthalates and DINCH metabolites in the same one-third
subsample of participants 3 years of age and older in NHANES 2015-2016. If the
concentration of a metabolite was less than the limit of detection (LOD), then
the imputed value was used. The imputed value was calculated as the LOD divided
by the square root of 2 (Hornung and Reed 1990); imputed values are provided in
the NHANES public release file.
The analytical
measurements were conducted following strict quality control/quality assurance
CLIA guidelines. Along with the study samples, each analytical run included
high- and low-concentration quality control materials (QCs) and reagent blanks
to assure the accuracy and reliability of the data. The concentrations of the
high-concentration QCs and the low-concentration QCs, averaged to obtain one
measurement of high-concentration QC and low-concentration QC for each run,
were evaluated using standard statistical probability rules (Caudill et al.
2008).
Data were received after all analyses were complete. The data were not edited.
Data Access: All
data are publicly available.
Refer to the 2015-2016 Laboratory Data Overview for general information on NHANES laboratory data.
Subsample weights
MEHHTP, MECPTP, and MONP were measured in all persons 3-5 years of age and in a one-third subsample for persons 6 years of age and older. Special sample weights, included in this data file, are required to analyze these data properly.
Demographic and Other Related Variables
The analysis of NHANES laboratory data must be conducted with the key survey design and basic demographic variables. The NHANES 2015-2016 Demographic Data File contains demographic data, health indicators, and other related information collected during household interviews as well as the sample design variables. The recommended procedure for variance estimation requires use of stratum and PSU variables (SDMVSTRA and SDMVPSU, respectively) in the demographic data file.
This laboratory data file can be linked to other NHANES data files using the unique survey participant identifier (i.e., SEQN).
Detection Limits
Detection limits were constant for all of the analytes in the data set. Two variables are provided for each analyte.
The variable name ending in “L” (ex., SSMHHTL) indicates whether the result was below the limit of detection: the value “0” means that the result was at or above the limit of detection, “1” indicates that the result was below the limit of detection. For analytes with analytic results below the lower limit of detection (ex., SSMHHTL=1), an imputed fill value was placed in the analyte results field. This value is the lower limit of detection divided by square root of 2 (LLOD/sqrt). The other variable prefixed SS (ex., SSMHHT) provides the analytic result for that analyte.
The lower limit of detection (LLOD, in ng/mL) for MEHHTP, MECPTP, and MONP are:
|
Variable Name |
SAS Label |
LLOD |
|
SSMHHT |
Mono-2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl terephthalate (µg/L) |
0.4 |

SSECPT |
Mono-2-ethyl-5-carboxypentyl terephthalate (µg/L) |
0.2 |
|

0.4 |
Please refer to
the NHANES Analytic
Guidelines and the on-line NHANES Tutorial for further details on the use of sample weights and other analytic
issues.

Filtering Elements By Value
very good answer: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/286141/remove-blank-attributes-from-an-object-in-javascript
let foo = {
bar: null,
baz: undefined,
dingetje: "",
good: "cat"
};
let filter = key => {
return (foo[key] === null || foo[key] === undefined || foo[key] === "") && delete foo[key];
}
Object.keys(foo).forEach(filter);
console.log(foo);
>> {good: "cat" }
Need to think about this one that uses recursion.
const removeEmpty = obj =>
Object.fromEntries(
Object.entries(obj)
.filter(([k, v]) => v != null)
.map(([k, v]) => (typeof v === "object" ? [k, removeEmpty(v)] : [k, v]))

Protobuf Data Source Guide
- Deploying
- to_protobuf() and from_protobuf()
- Supported types for Protobuf -> Spark SQL conversion
- Supported types for Spark SQL -> Protobuf conversion
- Handling circular references protobuf fields
Since Spark 3.4.0 release, Spark SQL provides built-in support for reading and writing protobuf data.
Deploying
The spark-protobuf
module is external and not included in spark-submit
or spark-shell
by default.
As with any Spark applications, spark-submit
is used to launch your application. spark-protobuf_2.12
and its dependencies can be directly added to spark-submit
using --packages
, such as,
./bin/spark-submit --packages org.apache.spark:spark-protobuf_2.12:3.4.0 ...
For experimenting on spark-shell
, you can also use --packages
to add org.apache.spark:spark-protobuf_2.12
and its dependencies directly,
./bin/spark-shell --packages org.apache.spark:spark-protobuf_2.12:3.4.0 ...
See Application Submission Guide for more details about submitting applications with external dependencies.
to_protobuf() and from_protobuf()
The spark-protobuf package provides function to_protobuf
to encode a column as binary in protobuf
format, and from_protobuf()
to decode protobuf binary data into a column. Both functions transform one column to
another column, and the input/output SQL data type can be a complex type or a primitive type.
Using protobuf message as columns is useful when reading from or writing to a streaming source like Kafka. Each Kafka key-value record will be augmented with some metadata, such as the ingestion timestamp into Kafka, the offset in Kafka, etc.
- If the “value” field that contains your data is in protobuf, you could use
from_protobuf()
to extract your data, enrich it, clean it, and then push it downstream to Kafka again or write it out to a different sink. to_protobuf()
can be used to turn structs into protobuf message. This method is particularly useful when you would like to re-encode multiple columns into a single one when writing data out to Kafka.
Spark SQL schema is generated based on the protobuf descriptor file or protobuf class passed to from_protobuf
and to_protobuf
. The specified protobuf class or protobuf descriptor file must match the data, otherwise, the behavior is undefined: it may fail or return arbitrary results.
Supported types for Protobuf -> Spark SQL conversion
Currently Spark supports reading protobuf scalar types, enum types, nested type, and maps type under messages of Protobuf.
In addition to the these types, spark-protobuf
also introduces support for Protobuf OneOf
fields. which allows you to handle messages that can have multiple possible sets of fields, but only one set can be present at a time. This is useful for situations where the data you are working with is not always in the same format, and you need to be able to handle messages with different sets of fields without encountering errors.
| Protobuf type | Spark SQL type |
|---|---|
| boolean | BooleanType |
| int | IntegerType |
| long | LongType |
| float | FloatType |
| double | DoubleType |
| string | StringType |
| enum | StringType |
| bytes | BinaryType |
| Message | StructType |
| repeated | ArrayType |
| map | MapType |
| OneOf | Struct |
It also supports reading the following Protobuf types Timestamp and Duration
| Protobuf logical type | Protobuf schema | Spark SQL type |
|---|---|---|
| duration | MessageType{seconds: Long, nanos: Int} | DayTimeIntervalType |
| timestamp | MessageType{seconds: Long, nanos: Int} | TimestampType |
Supported types for Spark SQL -> Protobuf conversion
Spark supports the writing of all Spark SQL types into Protobuf. For most types, the mapping from Spark types to Protobuf types is straightforward (e.g. IntegerType gets converted to int);
| Spark SQL type | Protobuf type |
|---|---|
| BooleanType | boolean |
| IntegerType | int |
| LongType | long |
| FloatType | float |
| DoubleType | double |
| StringType | string |
| StringType | enum |
| BinaryType | bytes |
| StructType | message |
| ArrayType | repeated |
| MapType | map |
Handling circular references protobuf fields
One common issue that can arise when working with Protobuf data is the presence of circular references. In Protobuf, a circular reference occurs when a field refers back to itself or to another field that refers back to the original field. This can cause issues when parsing the data, as it can result in infinite loops or other unexpected behavior.
To address this issue, the latest version of spark-protobuf introduces a new feature: the ability to check for circular references through field types. This allows users use the recursive.fields.max.depth
option to specify the maximum number of levels of recursion to allow when parsing the schema. By default, spark-protobuf
will not permit recursive fields by setting recursive.fields.max.depth
to -1. However, you can set this option to 0 to 10 if needed.
Setting recursive.fields.max.depth
to 0 drops all recursive fields, setting it to 1 allows it to be recursed once, and setting it to 2 allows it to be recursed twice. A recursive.fields.max.depth
value greater than 10 is not allowed, as it can lead to performance issues and even stack overflows.
SQL Schema for the below protobuf message will vary based on the value of recursive.fields.max.depth
.

The Ultimate Guided Pairing Session 1.1
Starring Dani Dirks and Eric Nolte
Pair Programming Discussion
Why is pair programming important to DBC?
Pairing allows peers to increase their compentencies by sharing their strengths with others.
What are driver and navigator roles?
These roles will change with every situation. Typically, you'll find a navigator will be developing the ideas and concepts of the program while adriver to be focused on crafting the actual code.
Pairing reflection
What was it like to pair for the first time?
When you're really comfortable with a subject it's difficult to exploit the benefits of pair programming, but when you're both thinking things thourgh something more substantial you get the chance to use that seperation and the navigator can really be thinking conceptually and don't need to think how it happens but how it could happen. With complex subject matter you can really see the benefits.
Did you enjoy it? What worked? What didn't work?
Yeah, it's always enjoyable. It's great finding joy in either producing or teaching through the challenges. The navigator often ends up "being the duck" and it's a great feeling to help someone solve a big challenge. Having strict boundaries on how something should be accomplished doesn't seem to work. It stifles communication and creativity. The best method seems to be using peer pairing to open up a dialogue about the task at hand.

Keeping the Faith (2000) Reviewed by Eugene Novikov http://www.ultimate-movie.com/ Member: Online Film Critics Society
Starring Edward Norton, Ben Stiller, Jenna Elfman. Directed by Edward Norton. Rated PG-13.
I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that Keeping the Faith has one of the best romantic comedy premises in recent years. The idea is just brimming with potential and at the hands of two great actors there shouldn't have been any problems following through on it. Unfortunately, just when the movie needs insight and originality, the script eagerly turns to sentimental conventions that have long worn out their welcome in movies past. This is a movie with a fantastic set-up but absolutely no payoff.
Edward Norton directs himself and Ben Stiller as two best friends whose lives have led them in the same direction but on different paths. Brian Finn (Norton) and Jacob Schram (Stiller) have known each other since grade school. Now, in their late 20's, they're still pals except that Jacob has become a Rabbi and Brian a Catholic priest. They've spent the last few years trying to bring their religions back into pop culture. Since leather jackets didn't work, they're now trying to form a karaoke club.
Their lives are routine until Brian receives word that Anna Riley, a girl they adored as children, is coming back to New York to visit them. They go to the airport to greet her, complete with a sign that proclaims "Anna Banana" to bring back a childhood joke. The reunion is jubilant, as the three have no problem getting back to the kind of banter that permeated their relationship when they were kids.
But things don't remain that simple for long. Brian, bound by his vow of chastity and having been bothered little by temptation so far, begins to fantasize about Anna and struggle with his religion. Meanwhile, Anna and Jacob begin a more intimate relationship, but although Jacob is not sworn to celibacy, his parents, his congregation and his community all expect him to marry a nice Jewish girl and a relationship with Anna is unlikely to get him the promotion to Head Rabbi he so desperately wants.
There's some good stuff here. Stiller and Norton are both wonderful actors with the ability to breathe life into the most mundane dialogue. Jenna Elfman, too, is a great comic talent -- heretofore woefully underused (and no, EdTV doesn't count) and now surprisingly promising. The script, by first-timer Stuart Blumberg, has intermittent laughs and a few slight insights into interfaith relationships. But thanks to (in all probability) some clueless studio execs, all of that adds up to exactly zilch.
The ending is a gigantic cop-out. What began as a seriously funny comedy about the intermingling of love and faith ends as stupidly sappy chunk of drivel, reverting back to that old Hollywood mentality that if the protagonists of a love story start getting really lucky, things all of a sudden start going their way, all the characters turn out to have good intentions and at the end everything is just perfect that the audience will walk out grinning stupidly. That's only sometimes true. You have to have the right set-up, establish the right mood for that kind of ending. If it's out of the blue, you get something like Keeping the Faith -- a movie so careful not to offend that it quickly polishes any provocativeness off with an unnatural happy ending.
At a running time of well over two hours, there's plenty of time for everything and Keeping the Faith tries mightily to please everyone. But it failed to satisfy me. I'm not sure who is at fault, but the movie wimps out.

Finding the Day of the Week Examples:
1. 2022-09-15
The number intersecting 2022 and S (September) is 3
Add 3 to 15 = 18
18 Mod 7 = 4 (4th day of the week)
Therefore 2022-09-15 is Thursday.
2. 2023-08-02
The number intersecting 2023 and A (August) is 1
Add 1 to 2 = 3
3 Mod 7 = 3 (3rd day of the week)
Therefore 2023-08-02 is Wednesday.
3. 2044-03-06
The number intersecting 2044 and M (March) is 1
Add 1 to 6 = 7
7 Mod 7 = 0 (0 day of the week)
Therefore 2044-03-06 is Sunday.

A variety of severe error conditions that typically terminate the recognition session. Errors that refer to the dictation adapter, FM_SP or DM_SP are IBM VoiceType Dictation Adapter related problems and require running the hardware diagnostic tests to locate the problem. File write errors indicate file system problems. For example, the hard disk is full.
Errors might occur if one of the engine tasks fails and communication breaks down. Therefore, this error is most likely secondary to the primary problem.
In these cases the session is not ended, only the microphone is forced off. This situation is caused by a very long pause in dictation (approximately three minutes) or by an ill behaved application that turns on the microphone and fails to ask for recognized words.

public class BTree<E extends java.lang.Comparable<E>> extends java.lang.Object implements SearchTree<E>
An implementation of the B-tree. A B-tree is a search tree in which each node contains n data items where n is between N/2 and N. (For the root, n may be between 1 and N. Other than leaves there are n+1 children. The tree is always balanced in that all leaves are on the same level, i.e., the length of the path from the root to a leaf is constant.

Council is composed of nine members, three of whom are At-Large representatives, tasked with representing the city of Athens and their constituents as a whole.
Four of the other six members are Ward representatives who represent a specific subset of individuals within Athens
Councilman Sam Crowl, D-3rd Ward, said he was originally interested in running as a Third Ward candidate after the former Third Ward councilwoman approached him about running for the position, indicating she would be vacating it.
Having grown up in the Third Ward, Crowl believed he would fulfill the position well due to his knowledge of the area and the issues those individuals face.
“I thought Ward Three is not only obviously where I live now, but it is also where I grew up and where my parents live, so I felt like I knew this area of the city very, very well,” Crowl said. “I care a great deal about (Athens), so I thought I might be a voice of reason or a solid voice on Council.”
However, Crowl said, in practice, the distinction between an At-Large representative and a Ward representative is only visible when a constituent of his Ward approaches him regarding a specific issue.
“For example, we are talking about parking fee changes. The city administration has proposed a change raising some of the parking fees, and I have a local neighbor of mine who approached me about these changes, particularly to the motorcycle permit fee increase,” Crowl said. “Because he's in my Ward, I want to represent him. So, I contacted the city to find out why they were proposing that they raise these rates and what had their rates been in the past and what do other cities charge for this or the university charge for this? So, I can provide that information to him.”
However, for Councilman Micah McCarey, D-At Large, the decision of running At-Large versus for a Ward seat wasn’t one he had to consider initially. He was appointed by the Athens Democratic Party in June for the seat he is currently in after former councilwoman Beth Clodfelter vacated the position.
“I feel very fortunate to be in an At-Large position. I understand from even just conversations with our City Council president that, practically, there's not a big difference between the At-Large seats and a Ward seat,” McCarey said. “Conceptually … it’s, for me, really enjoyable for me to be able to think pretty holistically about the city.”
McCarey reiterated that all council members weigh in on decisions that impact the city beyond a specific Ward. At-Large members, despite representing a larger number of individuals, do not possess more power in decision-making within Council, he said.
Damon Krane, a candidate for an At-Large seat this election season, said one of the biggest reasons he decided to run for one of the three seats this year is due to the nature of the race itself.
“The only race we see in the city where there are four, five, six candidates (running) is the At-Large race, and I think a result of that is that the discussion that happens at candidate forums and in questionnaires tends to be much richer. It addresses a lot more city issues,” Krane said. “I wanted to also run in that context where there'd be that opportunity to talk more about a wider variety of city issues with a wider variety of candidates.
With his interest in the position resting upon open debate, Krane said he was disappointed with the Democratic candidates’ absence at candidate forums that are open to all of them over the past few weeks
There are five individuals running for the three seats Tuesday, with Krane and Iris Virjee running as Independents and McCarey, Ben Ziff and Sarah Grace running for reelection as Democrats.
Contrary to Krane’s reasoning, Jeff Risner, D-2nd Ward, said he doesn't enjoy running in an election that is opposed by members of his own party. Risner is running for his sixth term on Council unopposed, and he has served on the body for nearly 10 years.
“I wouldn't want to try to bump someone out of their seat, or maybe they did better than me, and I'd be beaten,” Risner said.
Risner said he has focused on issues such as traffic control, flash flooding and a lack of commercial space within his Ward. Additionally, based on the way the Ward maps are drawn, part of the Ohio University campus falls within Risner’s jurisdiction, and he wishes students would be more active in voicing the issues they face.
“My attitude has been that when I'm on Council, I represent the Second Ward for their interests, and then following that, I represent the city as a whole,” Risner said.
Despite representatives and potential candidates expressing different rationale for running for Council, the distinction remains minimal.
“I do think that being At-Large is an interesting position because you do have more flexibility about how you get involved because you don't have this parameter of you're really just this Ward representative,” Crowl said. “But, in essence, when we are all up sitting in Council talking about things, there's not a great distinction between being a Ward representative or being an At-Large.”

The biggest scoreline in the history of the FIFA World Cup qualifiers - and indeed in the history of international football - was recorded on 11 April 2001, when Australia beat American Samoa 31-0.
This legendary match also brought global renown for Archie Thompson, whose 13-goal haul set a new world record, which stands to this day, for an individual player in a single international match.
And though the defeat earned American Samoa ignominy, so inspiring has their subsequent recovery been that it is now the subject of an acclaimed documentary, 'Next Goal Wins', showing across the world.


Smash the Bitcoin Pinata for fun and profit!
Last summer we announced the beta release of a clean-slate implementation of TLS in pure OCaml, alongside a series of blog posts that described the libraries and the thinking behind them. It took two hackers six months — starting on the beach — to get the stack to that point and their demo server is still going strong. Since then, the team has continued working and recently presented at the 31st Chaos Communication Congress.
The authors are putting their stack to the test again and this time they’ve built a Bitcoin Piñata! Essentially, they’ve hidden a private key to a bitcoin address within a Unikernel running on Xen. If you’re able to smash your way in, then you get to keep the spoils.
There’s more context around this in my Piñata post and you can see the details on the site itself. Remember that the codebase is all open (as well as issues) so there’s nothing to reverse engineer. Have fun!

Theoretically-Grounded Commonsense Reasoning (TG-CSR) is a benchmark intended to systematically evaluate machine commonsense in a few-shot question answering (QA) setting. We refer to the benchmark as theoretically grounded because each question and its candidate answer always falls under a “representational area” in the Gordon-Hobbs theory of commonsense, including “time”, “space”, “emotions” and so on. The goal of the benchmark is to assess whether a single machine commonsense model, such as a language representation model, is able to answer questions across all these different categories without too much training data.
The task format of TG-CSR is multi-set QA. For each category, a set of candidate answers is provided (about 10 answers per category) and shared among all questions in the same category. However, to make it easier for large-scale models to answer questions, we “pair” each question with a single candidate answer. The task then becomes binary QA: a prediction of “yes” (encoded as 1) indicates that the answer is a good fit for the question and “no” (encoded as 0) indicates otherwise.
Being a phased benchmark, the initial dataset consists of questions with a "vacationing abroad" context, for which training, development and test question sets are provided. More details on format and submission are provided in the starting kit. TG-CSR was designed to initially be a few-shot problem, but will later be a zero-shot problem for which no training or development sets will be provided. In upcoming phases, we will be releasing three additional sets of questions with the same format and Gordon-Hobbs representational areas, but designed using three other contexts.

Basic data structures in Scala: Maps
After Lists and tuples, let’s have a look at Maps.
They are sometimes called “hashtables”, “hashes”, or “dictionaries” in other programming languages.
Maps are a bit more complex than what we’ve seen before. They come handy when you need to store associated pairs of data, or when you need to easily look up a value corresponding to another value (which we will call the key).
It does matter (as with Lists) what kind of objects you want to store as keys and as values. You can pick a type for each.
Creating a Map
Scala offers a simple syntax to create an immutable Map filled with some key-value pairs:
val tweetMap = Map(
414 -> "#scaladays are coming to Berlin!",
435 -> "Scala is the new golden child",
506 -> "#scaladays Scaladex: scala package index")
val justAMap = Map(11 -> "hello", 13 -> 3.56)
val notValidMap: Map[Int, Double] = Map(63 -> 6.3, 19 -> "hello")
val emptyMap = Map()
The third example above will give an “error: type mismatch”, because we specified that we want to stores Ints and Doubles in the map, but we tried to stuff in a String as a value. Scala doesn’t let that happen.
Looking up a value for a key
If you are coming from the Java world, your instinct might tell you to call a get(key) function on the map to access the corresponding value. It works, but probably in a bit different way than you would expect.
tweetMap.get(414)
// will return:
// Some("#scaladays are coming to Berlin!")
The get(key) function returns an Option which is a special type, that I will explain in the next post.
For now, let’s use another, simpler way to access the value that belongs to a key:
tweetMap(414)
// will return the String:
// "#scaladays are coming to Berlin!"
Using mutable Maps
Until now we had maps that were immutable. Because Scala, by default, imports “scala.collection.immutable.Map” as “Map”.
But if we want to extend, or otherwise modify the contents of a map, we will need a mutable Map. And we have to import it by:
import scala.collection.mutable.Map
If you want to use both kinds of maps, then you can import both, and give them your own names like this:
import scala.collection.immutable.{Map => ImmuMap}
import scala.collection.mutable.{Map => MuMap}
val todoMap: MuMap[Int, String] = MuMap()
todoMap += (1 -> "think")
todoMap += (2 -> "write")
todoMap += (3 -> "publish")
In the example above we created a MuMap, which was empty at first, but then we added three pairs using the “+=” operator and specifying the key-value pairs (those were separated by simple arrows: “->”).
Iterating over all elements of a Map
For this we can either use an iterator:
val mIter = todoMap.iterator
while (mIter.hasNext) { println(mIter.next) }
This will print the tuples:
(2,write)
(1,think)
(3,publish)
Or, we could use the foreach method of the Map:
todoMap.foreach(kv => println("key: " + kv._1 + ", value: " + kv._2))
To see this output:
key: 2, value: write
key: 1, value: think
key: 3, value: publish
Summary and other sources
This page of TutorialsPoint lists more operations on Scala Maps.
Scala offers more Map implementations, with different trade-offs regarding mutability, speed of operations, ordering, etc. If you need advice on which one to choose, this guide might help.
Some runnable code examples are here.
Next time I’ll briefly cover Scala’s special collection-like tool: Option.
Note: If you want to learn about Scala’s “map()” function, with which you can simply apply a function on each element of a list, then you have to wait for a yet-to-come post. Alternatively, read this.

During the next month or two my solitary town-life seemed, by contrast, unusually dull and tedious. I missed the pleasant friends I had left behind at Elveston—the genial interchange of thought—the sympathy which gave to one’s ideas a new and vivid reality: but, perhaps more than all, I missed the companionship of the two Fairies—or Dream-Children, for I had not yet solved the problem as to who or what they were whose sweet playfulness had shed a magic radiance over my life.
In office-hours—which I suppose reduce most men to the mental condition of a coffee-mill or a mangle—time sped along much as usual: it was in the pauses of life, the desolate hours when books and newspapers palled on the sated appetite, and when, thrown back upon one’s own dreary musings, one strove—all in vain—to people the vacant air with the dear faces of absent friends, that the real bitterness of solitude made itself felt.
One evening, feeling my life a little more wearisome than usual, I strolled down to my Club, not so much with the hope of meeting any friend there, for London was now “out of town”, as with the feeling that here, at least, I should hear “sweet words of human speech”, and come into contact with human thought.
However, almost the first face I saw there was that of a friend. Eric Lindon was lounging, with rather a “bored” expression of face, over a newspaper; and we fell into conversation with a mutual satisfaction which neither of us tried to conceal.
After a while I ventured to introduce what was just then the main subject of my thoughts. “And so the Doctor” (a name we had adopted by a tacit agreement, as a convenient compromise between the formality of “Doctor Forester” and the intimacy—to which Eric Lindon hardly seemed entitled—of “Arthur”) “has gone abroad by this time, I suppose? Can you give me his present address?”
“He is still at Elveston—I believe,” was the reply. “But I have not been there since I last met you.”
I did not know which part of this intelligence to wonder at most. “And might I ask—if it isn’t taking too much of a liberty—when your wedding-bells are to—or perhaps they have rung, already?”
“No,” said Eric, in a steady voice, which betrayed scarcely a trace of emotion: “that engagement is at an end. I am still ‘Benedick the unmarried man’.”
After this, the thick-coming fancies—all radiant with new possibilities of happiness for Arthur—were far too bewildering to admit of any further conversation, and I was only too glad to avail myself of the first decent excuse, that offered itself, for retiring into silence
The next day I wrote to Arthur, with as much of a reprimand for his long silence as I could bring myself to put into words, begging him to tell me how the world went with him.
Needs must that three or four days—possibly more— should elapse before I could receive his reply; and never had I known days drag their slow length along with a more tedious indolence.
To while away the time, I strolled, one afternoon, into Kensington Gardens, and, wandering aimlessly along any path that presented itself, I soon became aware that I had somehow strayed into one that was wholly new to me. Still, my elfish experiences seemed to have so completely faded out of my life that nothing was further from my thoughts than the idea of again meeting my fairyfriends, when I chanced to notice a small creature, moving among the grass that fringed the path, that did not seem to be an insect, or a frog, or any other living thing that I could think of. Cautiously kneeling down, and making an ex tempore cage of my two hands, I imprisoned the little wanderer, and felt a sudden thrill of surprise and delight on discovering that my prisoner was no other than Bruno himself!
Bruno took the matter very coolly, and, when I had replaced him on the ground, where he would be within easy conversational distance, he began talking, just as if it were only a few minutes since last we had met.
“Doos oo know what the Rule is”, he enquired, “when oo catches a Fairy, withouten its having tolded oo where it was?” (Bruno’s notions of English Grammar had certainly not improved since our last meeting.)
“No,” I said.  “But I’m not pruffickly sure. Oo’d better not do it wizout asking.”
It did indeed seem reasonable not to take so irrevocable a step as that, without due enquiry. “I’ll certainly ask about it, first,” I said. “Besides, I don’t know yet whether you would be worth eating!”
“I guess I’m deliciously good to eat,” Bruno remarked in a satisfied tone, as if it were something to be rather proud of.
“And what are you doing here, Bruno?”
“That’s not my name!” said my cunning little friend. “Don’t oo know my name’s ‘Oh Bruno!’? That’s what Sylvie always calls me, when I says mine lessons.”
“Well then, what are you doing here, oh Bruno?”
“Doing mine lessons, a-course!” With that roguish twinkle in his eye, that always came when he knew he was talking nonsense.
“Oh, that’s the way you do your lessons, is it? And do you remember them well?”
“Always can ‘member mine lessons,” said Bruno. “It’s Sylvie’s lessons that’s so drefully hard to ‘member!” He frowned, as if in agonies of thought, and tapped his forehead with his knuckles. “I ca’n’t think enough to understand them!” he said despairingly.’ It wants double thinking, I believe!”
“But where’s Sylvie gone?”
“That’s just what I want to know!” said Bruno disconsolately. “What ever’s the good of setting me lessons when she isn’t here to ‘sprain the hard bits?”
“I’ll find her for you!” I volunteered; and, getting up I wandered round the tree under whose shade I had been reclining, looking on all sides for Sylvie. In another minute I again noticed some strange thing moving among the grass, and, kneeling down, was immediately confronted with Sylvie’s innocent face, lighted up with a joyful surprise at seeing me, and was accosted, in the sweet voice I knew so well, with what seemed to be the end of a sentence whose beginning I had failed to catch. “and I think he ought to have finished them by this time. So I’m going back to him. Will you come too? It’s only just round at the other side of this tree.”
It was but a few steps for me; but it was a great many for Sylvie; and I had to be very careful to walk slowly, in order not to leave the little creature so far behind as to lose sight of her.
To find Bruno’s lessons was easy enough: they appeared to be neatly written out on large smooth ivy-leaves, which were scattered in some confusion over a little patch of ground where the grass had been worn away; but the pale student, who ought by rights to have been bending over them, was nowhere to be seen: we looked in all directions, for some time in vain; but at last Sylvie’s sharp eyes detected him, swinging on a tendril of ivy, and Sylvie’s stern voice commanded his instant return to terra firma and to the business of Life.
“Pleasure first and business afterwards” seemed to be the motto of these tiny folk, so many hugs and kisses had to be interchanged before anything else could be done.
“Now, Bruno,” Sylvie said reproachfully, “didn’t I tell you you were to go on with your lessons, unless you heard to the contrary?”
“But I did heard to the contrary!” Bruno insisted, with a mischievous twinkle in his eye.
  For Bruno had curled himself up, on the largest “lesson”, and was arranging another as a pillow.
“I wasn’t asleep!” said Bruno, in a deeply-injured tone. “When I shuts mine eyes, it’s to show that I’m awake!”
“Well, how much have you learned, then?”
“I’ve learned a little tiny bit,” said Bruno, modestly, being evidently afraid of overstating his achievement. “Ca’n’t learn no more!”
“Oh Bruno! You know you can, if you like.”
“Course I can, if I like,” the pale student replied; “but I ca’n’t if I don’t like!”
Sylvie had a way—which I could not too highly admire —of evading Bruno’s logical perplexities by suddenly striking into a new line of thought; and this masterly stratagem she now adopted.
“Well, I must say one thing
“Did oo know, Mister Sir,” Bruno thoughtfully remarked, “that Sylvie ca’n’t count? Whenever she says ‘I must say one thing’, I know quite well she’ll say two things! And she always doos.”
“Two heads are better than one, Bruno,” I said, but with no very distinct idea as to what I meant by it.
“I shouldn’t mind having two heads,” Bruno said softly to himself: “one head to eat mine dinner, and one head to argue wiz Sylvie—doos oo think oo’d look prettier if oo’d got two heads, Mister Sir?”
The case did not, I assured him, admit of a doubt.
“The reason why Sylvie’s so cross—” Bruno went on very seriously, almost sadly.
Sylvie’s eyes grew large and round with surprise at this new line of enquiry—her rosy face being perfectly radiant with good humour. But she said nothing.
“Wouldn’t it be better to tell me after the lessons are over?” I suggested.
“Very well,” Bruno said with a resigned air: “only she wo’n’t be cross then.”
“There’s only three lessons to do,” said Sylvie. “Spelling, and Geography, and Singing.”
“Not Arithmetic?” I said.
“No, he hasn’t a head for Arithmetic”
“Course I haven’t!” said Bruno. “Mine head’s for hair. I haven’t got a lot of heads!”
“—and he ca’n’t learn his Multiplication-table "
“I like History ever so much better,” Bruno remarked. “Oo has to repeat that Muddlecome table—”
“Well, and you have to repeat—”
“No, oo hasn’t!” Bruno interrupted. “History repeats itself. The Professor said so!”
Sylvie was arranging some letters on a board—E-V-I-L. “Now, Bruno,” she said, “what does that spell?”
Bruno looked at it, in solemn silence, for a minute. “I know what it doesn’t spell!” he said at last.
“That’s no good,” said Sylvie. “What does it spell?”
Bruno took another look at the mysterious letters. “Why, it’s ‘LIVE’, backwards!” he exclaimed. (I thought it was, indeed.)
“How did you manage to see that?” said Sylvie.
“I just twiddled my eyes,” said Bruno, “and then I saw it directly. Now may I sing the King-fisher Song?”
“Geography next,” said Sylvie. “Don’t you know the Rules?”
“I think there oughtn’t to be such a lot of Rules, Sylvie!  And how dare you think at all about it?

“Now that Bruno is fastened up from talking,” she went on, turning to me, “I’ll show you the Map he does his lessons on.”
And there it was, a large Map of the World, spread out on the ground. It was so large that Bruno had to crawl about on it, to point out the places named in the “Kingfisher Lesson”.
“When a King-fisher sees a Lady-bird flying away, he says ‘Ceylon, if you Candia!’ And when he catches it, he says ‘Come to Media! And if you’re Hungary or thirsty, I’ll give you some Nubia!’ When he takes it in his claws, he says ‘Europe!’ When he puts it into his beak, he says ‘India!’ When he’s swallowed it, he says ‘Eton!’ That’s all.”
“That’s quite perfect,” said Sylvie. “Now, you may sing the King-fisher Song.”
“Will oo sing the chorus?” Bruno said to me.
I was just beginning to say “I’m afraid I don’t know the words”, when Sylvie silently turned the map over, and I found the words were all written on the back. In one respect it was a very peculiar song: the chorus to each verse came in the middle, instead of at the end of it. However, the tune was so easy that I soon picked it up, and managed the chorus as well, perhaps, as it is possible for one person to manage such a thing. It was in vain that I signed to Sylvie to help me: she only smiled sweetly and shook her head.
“King Fisher courted Lady Bird—
Sing Beans, sing Bones, sing Butterflies!

’And, where you stick them in,
They stay, and thus a pin
Is very much to be preferred
To one that’s never still!’
“‘Oysters have beards,’ said Lady Bird—
Sing Flies, sing Frogs, sing Fiddle-strings!
’I love them, for I know
They never chatter so:
They would not say one single word—
Not if you crowned them Kings!’
“‘Needles have Eyes,’ said Lady Bird—
Sing Cats, sing Corks, sing Cowslip-tea!
’And they are sharp—just what
Your Majesty is not:
So get you gone—’tis too absurd
To come a-courting me!’ ”
“So he went away,” Bruno added as a kind of postscript, when the last note of the song had died away “Just like he always did.”
“Oh my dear Bruno!” Sylvie exclaimed, with her hands over her ears. “You shouldn’t say ‘like’: you should say ‘what’.”
To which Bruno replied, doggedly, “I only says ‘what!’ when oo doosn’t speak loud, so as I can hear oo.”
“Where did he go to?” I asked, hoping to prevent an argument.
“He went more far than he’d never been before,” said Bruno.
“You should never say ‘more far’,” Sylvie corrected him: “you should say ‘farther’.”
“Then oo shouldn’t say ‘more broth’, when we’re at dinner,” Bruno retorted: “oo should say ‘brother’!”
This time Sylvie evaded an argument by turning away, and beginning to roll up the Map. “Lessons are over!” she proclaimed in her sweetest tones.
“And has there been no crying over them?” I enquired. “Little boys always cry over their lessons, don’t they?”
“I never cries after twelve o’clock,” said Bruno: " ‘cause then it’s getting so near to dinner-time.”
“Sometimes, in the morning,” Sylvie said in a low voice; “when it’s Geography-day, and when he’s been disrobe— "
“What a fellow you are to talk, Sylvie!” Bruno hastily interposed. “Doos oo think the world was made for oo to talk in?”
“Why, where would you have me talk, then?” Sylvie said, evidently quite ready for an argument.
But Bruno answered resolutely. “I’m not going to argue about it, ‘cause it’s getting late, and there wo’n’t be time—but oo’s as ‘ong as ever oo can be!” And he rubbed the back of his hand across his eyes, in which tears were beginning to glitter.
Sylvie’s eyes filled with tears in a moment. “I didn’t mean it, Bruno, darling!” she whispered; and the rest of the argument was lost “amid the tangles of Neæra’s hair”, while the two disputants hugged and kissed each other.
But this new form of argument was brought to a sudden end by a flash of lightning, which was closely followed by a peal of thunder, and by a torrent of raindrops, which came hissing and spitting, almost like live creatures, through the leaves of the tree that sheltered us. “Why, it’s raining cats and dogs!” I said.
“And all the dogs has come down first,” said Bruno: “there’s nothing but cats coming down now!”
In another minute the pattering ceased, as suddenly as it had begun. I stepped out from under the tree, and found that the storm was over; but I looked in vain, on my return, for my tiny companions. They had vanished with the storm, and there was nothing for it but to make the best of my way home.
On the table lay, awaiting my return, an envelope of that peculiar yellow tint which always announces a telegram, and which must be, in the memories of so many of us, inseparably linked with some great and sudden sorrow—something that has cast a shadow, never in this world to be wholly lifted off, on the brightness of Life. No doubt it has also heralded—for many of us—some sudden news of joy; but this, I think, is less common: human life seems, on the whole, to contain more of sorrow than of joy. And yet the world goes on. Who knows why?
This time, however, there was no shock of sorrow to be faced: in fact, the few words it contained (“Could not bring myself to write. Come soon. Always welcome. A letter follows this. Arthur.”) seemed so like Arthur himself speaking, that it gave me quite a thrill of pleasure and I at once began the preparations needed for the journey.
