Igetter more threads12/24/2022 The deftype docstring advices that the usage of both options is discouraged and are for “experts only”. The implementation class needs mutable state to hold one value.ĭeftype has two options for mutability of fields: volatile-mutable and unsynchronized-mutable. The Output interface defines behaviour, therefore I’ve chosen the deftype. Therefore, I aimed to implement my Output class in Clojure.Īlso, gen-class feels a bit “too much” for this little problem. that class has to act as a mutable 1 container that holds one value Įfficiency is desired because the library is intended to be used in “hot spots” of an application.īefore starting to work on clj-jq I expected that the work would not require writing any Java code because that would complicate the release of the library.The requirements for the Output implementation: It got me thinking about how to make something better. allocating an ArrayList and reifying is not super cheap.the ArrayList will always hold just one value.Using an ArrayList in such a function might be OK for an example.īut for a library something more specialized is desired because of several reasons: (.writeValueAsString mapper ^JsonNode (.get array-list 0)))) (.apply query (Scope/newChildScope root-scope) data Since Clojure functions doesn’t implement Output interface I can’t pass a function, therefore I’ve “translated” the code using reify approach as shown below: (defn query-json-node In the example an instance of ArrayList and some Java magic was used (we’ll talk about what and why in the appendix). The “translation” went as expected until I had to deal with a code that implements the Output interface: final List out = new ArrayList() I’ve taken a straightforward approach to create a Clojure library: just “translate” the necessary Java code to Clojure using the Java interop more or less verbatim, parameterize the hardcoded parts, refactor here and there, and the result would be a new library. The jackson-jq provides a nice example class that helped me to start implementing the wrapper. The exact use cases of the clj-jq are left out for future blog posts. IntroductionĪ Clojure library whose goal is to make it easy to embed a jq processor directly into an application and that this application can be compiled with the GraalVM native-image.Ĭlj-jq was intended to be a thin wrapper for the jackson-jq Java library.

Get the current time, day, month and year The complete logic of our digital clock is as follows: var time = document.querySelector('.time') Time.innerHTML = hours + ':' + minutes + ':' + seconds + ' ' + period ĭateTime.innerHTML = dayNames + ', ' + monthNames + ' ' + date + ', ' + year įinally add a setInterval() method to call the updateClock() function every second. Seconds = seconds < 10 ? '0' + seconds : seconds Minutes = minutes < 10 ? '0' + minutes : minutes Use the selected element to display the time and date. Now format date and time to display properly.Īdd a 0 before the minutes and seconds if they are less than 10 and convert hours to 12-hour format. Now create 2 arrays to store day names and month names in English. Within the function create a Date object and get the current hour, minute, second, day, date, month, and year. Now create a function updateClock() that will calculate the current time and date and display it on the web page. Var dateTime = document.querySelector('.date-time') var time = document.querySelector('.time') var hours = date.getHours() įirst select the element with class time using the querySelector Method, so that we can use it to display the date and time. Now we can get the current time and date using getHours(), getMinutes(), getSeconds() and getDay() methods of the date object. To get the current date object we can use the new Date(). The Date object in javascript is used to get the current time and date. We will first explain here in brief and then start with the logic. Let's start writing the logic of our digital clock.īefore starting with the logic, you must have an understanding of the Date object in javascript. We will add some CSS to make it look nice. Now we have a structure of our digital clock. Wrap both div elements inside a div element with class clock. We will create 2 div elements, one to display running time and another to display the date and day of the week.Ĭreate a div element with class time and another div element with class date-time. Then we will create the logic for our clock using Javascript and finally, we will add CSS to make our clock look nice. Let's start with creating the first structure of our digital clock using HTML.

Sci fi story with cavorite12/24/2022 (When Earthpeople complain that their heavenly leaders have abandoned them, the Canopians retort, "We've regularly sent people to guide and comfort them! Well, except for a brief period during the last fifteen hundred years.") Lessing’s ambitious vision of human life-and human folly-offers alternate history on an eschatological scale. Lessing’s perspective on history is downright cosmic in scope, but occasionally cheeky, too. Shikasta is clearly the planet Earth, shaped from Genesis to World War III by the Canopians and their colonial rivals. Compiled from ephemera like documents, letters, and journal entries, the novel is structured as a history book for residents of the planet Canopus, who long ago colonized a little blue marble they call Shikasta. The first installment, Re: Colonised Planet 5, Shikasta, is a visionary work of imagination. Though it was likely Doris Lessing’s long and varied career that netted her the Nobel Prize for Literature, we like to think that her ambitious excursion into science fiction, via her Canopus in Argos: Archives series, also had something to do with it. Now, in ranked order, here are the best science fiction books of all time. We also emphasized books that brought something new and innovative to the genre to borrow a great sci-fi turn of phrase, books that “boldly go where no one has gone before.” Though we assessed single installments as representatives of their series, we limited the list to one book per author. As the Nobel Prize-winning novelist Doris Lessing said, "Science fiction is some of the best social fiction of our time.”Ĭhoosing the fifty best science fiction books of all time wasn’t easy, so to get the job done, we had to establish some guardrails. Our favorite works in the genre make good on this promise, meditating on everything from identity to oppression to morality. Through the enduring themes of sci-fi, we can examine the zeitgeist’s cultural context and ethical questions. Sci-fi brings out the best in our imaginations and evokes a sense of wonder, but it also inspires a spirit of questioning. It’s also remarkably porous, allowing for some overlap with genres like fantasy and horror. Now, two centuries later, sci-fi is a sprawling and lucrative multimedia genre with countless sub-genres, such as dystopian fiction, post-apocalyptic fiction, and climate fiction, just to name a few. Some scholars argue that science fiction as we now understand it was truly born in 1818, when Mary Shelley published Frankenstein, the first novel of its kind whose events are explained by science, not mysticism or miracles. Science fiction’s earliest inklings began in the mid-1600s, when Johannes Kepler and Francis Godwin wrote pioneering stories about voyages to the moon. Today, we call those dreams science fiction. And what remarkable dreams they are-dreams of distant worlds, unearthly creatures, parallel universes, artificial intelligence, and so much more. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.Since time immemorial, mankind has been looking up at the stars and dreaming, but it was only centuries ago that we started turning those dreams into fiction. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. It is these elements, combined with an assured narrative style, which have won for The First Men in the Moon a permanent place in the literature of science fiction as a classic of the imagination. What is new and original in Wells’s story is first the fact that the journey to the moon is undertaken not by caricature figures but by well-drawn and convincing individuals second, the idea of the anti-gravity device, ‘Cavorite’, which makes possible the construction of the sphere third, the detailed and circumstantial descriptions of the lunar landscape and finally the satirical account of the Selenite civilisation. And ih 1865 Jules Verne returned to the theme in From the Earth to the Moon (and again in a sequel, Round the Moon). In 1835 Edgar Allan Poe, in The Unparalleled Adventure of One Hans Pfaall, gave an account of a flight to the moon and back in a balloon. As long ago as the second century Lucian in Icaromenippus had exploited the idea, and a quotation from his romance appears on the title page of the first edition. The idea of describing an imaginary journey to the moon had been attempted by many writers before The First Men in the Moon appeared in 1901.

Mike todd pastor12/24/2022 Michael Todd’s sermon points included 1) we need Jesus to touch us as he touched the blind man and 2) God will take us outside of our comfort zones as Jesus took the blind man outside of the village. The pastor spent about 15 minutes developing various points based on this passage and had his brother, Brentom Todd, come on stage to represent the blind man. An absence of clarity from God will lead to confusion and compromise, he said.Īfter expounding on the need for clear vision from God, Todd turned to the account in Mark 8:22-30 of Jesus healing a blind man, which Jesus does by spitting on his eyes. “You should be asking God to touch every area of your life this year,” said the pastor, giving examples that included deciding who to date, a college major, and where to go on vacation. ” The beginning of his sermon focused on the importance of believers submitting themselves to God in order to have a clear vision from him for their lives in the coming year. 16 sermon was titled, “ Clearly // The Vision For Invasion // Vision Sunday 2022. Michael Todd and his wife, Natalie, co-pastor Transformation Church in Tulsa, Okla., where they have been lead pastors since 2015. Michael Todd: Receiving Vision Could Be ‘Nasty’ We’re watching abuse and humiliation to boost another’s ego and profile. Mike Todd even tried to manipulate the crowd into feeling bad over reacting to him dehumanizing a man live on stage. I don’t know who needs to hear this, but this is demonic and manipulative. I don’t know a word for this but it ain’t nice or holy or pastoral or good.” Stewart continued, “This is more than terrible theology or performance or arrogant view’s of one’s self and power.

Ballet leap12/24/2022 Ajala, or an overseas instructor on Zoom, give corrections. Ajala’s 12 students walk to his apartment, where he pushes aside his furniture and spreads a thin vinyl sheet over the concrete floor for class, throwing open the doors and windows to let in the light.ĪAgainst swaths of candy-colored chiffon - intended to make the humble setting a little more festive - students move through their lessons in small groups, leaning against a short, stationary ballet barre and craning their necks to watch Mr. Seemingly overnight, a world of opportunity has opened up: for the students, scholarships and invitations to attend prestigious schools and companies overseas and for the school, sizable donations, which will allow for building a proper space, outfitted with a real dance floor.įor now, the Leap of Dance Academy is housed at the home of its founder, Daniel Owoseni Ajala, in Ajangbadi, Ojo, on the western outskirts of Lagos. And in the last few months, it has inspired influential people in ballet to lend a hand. The wide reach of the video - it has been seen more than 20 million times on social media platforms - has turned a spotlight on the unlikely story of a ballet school in a poor suburb of Lagos, Nigeria: the Leap of Dance Academy.įounded in 2017, the academy has transformed the lives of its students, affording them a place to dance and to dream. He indulges the camera with a smile, but only for a moment, before assuming a look of fierce determination, lifting his eyes toward the sky, his lithe arms and graceful fingers following closely along. Though the conditions for such dancing are all wrong - dangerous, even - he twirls on, flying barefoot into an arabesque and landing it. As the rain falls, forming puddles between the uneven slabs of concrete on which he dances, Anthony Mmesoma Madu, 11, turns pirouette after pirouette. Dancers can do a single, double, or triple turn, meaning their bodies do multiple rotations in the air before landing.In June, a minute-long video featuring a young ballet student dancing in the rain began circulating on the internet. The perfect combination of turning and jumping, tour en l’air means “turn in the air.” It is one of the most exciting steps in ballet and commonly performed in men’s variations! The step begins and ends in fifth position, with the dancer jumping from a plie, keeping their feet in fifth position but pointed, completing a full turn in the air, and then landing back where they started. Like we said, a lot of moving parts, but essentially what you get is a pirouette in the air. First, the dancer throws one leg into the air, jumps off the floor with the standing leg and then brings that same standing leg into a retire (leg bent with the foot touching the knee), completes a turn in the air and then lands one the first leg. In ballet, saut de basque describes a travelling jump that has a lot of moving parts. Then, the standing leg raises to meet the top leg, “beating” together and pushing the top leg to go higher in the air, as the bottom leg returns to the floor. In a cabriole, the dancer starts by jumping in the air off of one leg, as the other leg is thrown upwards. From devant, derrière, and à la seconde (front, back, or side) to the height of the jump and the legs, it is one of the most versatile steps in ballet. Meaning caper, or playful skipping movement, a cabriole can be done in a variety of positions. The most common is the sissonne fermee, where the dancer begins and ends the jump in fifth position. Depending on the choreography, dancers can land on either one or two feet, but it always begins with both legs pushing off the floor. To start, the dancer has both legs on the floor in a plie and then splits their legs open in the air before landing. There are many types of sissone in ballet, but the best way to describe the jump is to think of the dancer’s legs like scissors. Sounds complicated, but it’s a dancer and audience favorite for a reason! Then, from a plie on the supporting leg, the dancer jumps into the air and fully extends that leg, so for a brief moment the dancer looks like they are doing the splits in the air! To finish, the dancer lands in a plie on the first leg. More commonly known as saut de chat, this jump is one of the most popular and widely recognized in ballet! Often seen in grand allegro’s and women’s variations, this step describes when a dancer throws one leg into the air through a développé, meaning the working leg in drawn up the knee of the supporting leg and then extended straight out.
