Episode 19: Martinus' Christmas Letters 0
In this podcast Mary McGovern and Pernilla Rosell reflect on Martinus' Christmas letters, which he sent out every December from 1933, when the magazine Kosmos began in Danish, until 1980, the Christmas before he left the physical plane. In these letters, he sent his heartfelt thanks to all those who supported his work in various ways. At the same time he provided cosmic analyses of the Christmas mystery and the winter solstice, the latter being a symbol of the culmination of darkness in our minds and hearts and the return of the light in the form of understanding and neighbourly love.
Martinus very often began on a poetic note as in the following example:
"The time of darkness is upon us. We are passing the solstice and are in the midnight hour of the year's cycle, the domain of coldness and night. The sunlit days, the warmth and life of summer are gone … Just as the Godhead is an eternal light in the darkness, so must every living being come to shine in the night. That is the solution to the mystery of life, that is the beings' awakening from death to life, that is initiation, the great birth, or the beings' experiencing of themselves as being one with the Father, the road, the truth and the life." (Martinus, Christmas letter 1949)
Martinus also wrote many articles about Christmas. In "Light in the Darkness" he writes:
"The joy of Christmas will become joy in living, Christmas presents will become the human being giving himself, that is, his joy in living and his creative ability, for the benefit of the whole, and the peace of Christmas will become peace all the year round, not merely between the different nations but also between the different human being. There will really be 'peace on Earth and goodwill to all men', as is promised in the Christmas gospel." http://www.martinus.dk/en/articles/index.php?mode=1&artikelnr=1477
And here's a link to another Christmas article, "Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve", written in 1969: http://www.martinus.dk/en/articles/index.php?mode=1&artikelnr=920
In the beginning of the episode Martinus' Symbol No. 2, "The Principle of World Redemption" is mentioned: http://www.martinus.dk/en/martinus-symbols/overview-of-the-symbols/symbol-2

Episode 18: Lectures on Martinus Cosmology in California 0
During the autumn of 2018, Mary McGovern from the Martinus Institute, Copenhagen, visited California and gave two lectures on Martinus Cosmology: "The Ongoing Evolution of Human Sexuality" in San José at the SAND conference (https://www.scienceandnonduality.com/sand18-us/) and "The Ideal Food" at The World Veg Festival in San Francisco (http://www.worldvegfestival.com/).
In this podcast episode, Pernilla Rosell interviews Mary MGovern via Skype about her experiences during her lecture trip. Mary tells us about the different topics at these two conferences and about how the conference participants received Martinus' world picture.

Episode 17: The Ideal Food 0
Food is an ethical, health and environmental issue that many people today are taking an increasing and urgent interest in. This is almost certainly a reaction to the killing of billions of mammals and fish every year, the widespread illhealth of mankind and the growing worries about the effect of, for example, meat-eating on the sustainability of the Earth.
According to Martinus, human nutrition is evolving in a more humane direction as our consciousness evolves and our conscience grows to encompass other beings than only those of our own species.
In this podcast Pernilla Rosell interviews Mary McGovern about how Martinus, in his book The Ideal Food, analyses the evolution of human nutrition from meat-eating to vegetarianism and veganism. They look at the consequences of the unreliability of our sense of taste and the effect of our nutritional choices on our health and fate.

Episode 16: Forgiveness as Science and Art 0
Many people find it difficult to forgive and see no logical reason for doing so. Mary McGovern interviews Karin Jansson from Sweden after she gave a lecture at the Martinus Centre entitled "Forgiveness as Science and Art". She describes the process of forgiving with your brain and with your heart, and how it leads to a union with all life.
The idea of forgiveness is essential to Christianity, but Christ didn't provide any logical explanation for it. Martinus points to non-forgiveness as a very heavy burden that most of us carry with us, a burden that contributes to illness and depression. His world picture helps us to understand the laws of life and why it pays to forgive.
This podcast was recorded by Mary McGovern at The Martinus Centre, Klint, Denmark on 3rd August 2018.
Episode 15: Art and the Art of Living 0
Martinus describes art as something one produces from one's heart, not for material gain but out of the sheer joy in being creative and in expressing one's innermost feelings, thoughts and ideas. Mary McGovern interviews Anne Külper, a Swedish dancer and choreographer with a profound interest in Martinus Cosmology. They discuss how intelligence and feeling are balanced in works of art and in the art of living.
This podcast was recorded by Mary McGovern at The Martinus Centre, Klint, Denmark on 31st July 2018.
Episode 14: The Potential for Growth in Relationships 0
Martinus describes marriage and intimate relationships, and, in fact, all relationships, as grindstones that grind away at the imperfections within us and gradually remove them. All relationships thus contain enormous potential for the growth of wisdom, humaneness and neighbourly love. Loneliness, sexual confusion and the changing roles of men and women are seen to be natural stages on the way to evolving from the male and female sex to the third sex: the human sex.
Mary McGovern interviews Sören Grind, a Swedish psychologist who has taught Martinus Cosmology since 1980. Sören is the author of two books in Swedish – which have been translated into Danish but not English – on what he calls "cosmic psychology".

Episode 13: Our eternal core of being 0
Who are we really? What is our innermost, eternal core of being? How does Martinus describe the structure of the living being? In this episode Mary McGovern and Sören Grind talk about Martinus's analyses of the innermost structure of all living beings, and about how we can understand key concepts such as the I and the superconsciousness. Martinus tells us that all living beings develop talent kernels through various stages, and that those talent kernels are stored as spiritual seeds in the superconsciousness from incarnation to incarnation.
Mary and Sören also reflect on the long journey that all living beings make through eternal spiral cycles, according to Martinus, and how this perspective can give daily life meaning and help us cope with its difficulties.
Mary McGovern and Sören Grind have taught Martinus's cosmology for many years in Denmark and other countries.
This podcast was recorded by Pernilla Rosell at The Martinus Institute, Copenhagen, Denmark on 17th June 2018.
Episode 12: The Downfall of Marriage 0
Mary McGovern interviews Else Byskov about her most recent book The Downfall of Marriage - The Great Transformation of Our Sexual & Marital Relations, which deals with Martinus's analyses of the transformation of the sexual poles and the processes that lie behind the changes in our marital relationships. Why do people today find marriage so challenging? Why is the divorce rate so high? And why do so many people live alone? What kind of transformation is it that we see going on in our society? In her book Else hopes to help readers understand how this transformation influences our daily lives.
Else has written and published six books in English about Martinus Cosmology, including Death is an Illusion and The Art of Attraction. Some of her books are also available in Danish, German and Spanish. See her website: http://newspiritualscience.com/

Episode 11: Martinus's unique contribution to modern spirituality 0
Based in London, Anton Jarrod is a writer and researcher, focusing on and specializing in modern spirituality from 1850 onwards. He is the author of Martinus Cosmology and Spiritual Evolution (2017), which looks at Martinus's ideas about the evolution of the human being in relation to the Gospel narratives of the life of Jesus, the archetypal human being. He is currently working in the field of sociology, exploring the relationship between spirituality and the world of work. (See www.antonjarrod.com)
In this podcast Mary McGovern interviews Anton Jarrod about what he considers Martinus's unique contribution to modern spirituality.
Episode 10: The Translators' Week at the Martinus Centre, 2018 0
In May 2018 Mary McGovern and The Martinus Institute organised the third Translators' Week at the Martinus Centre, Klint, Denmark. The purpose of the week was to give the institute's translators, language consultants and proofreaders the opportunity to attend a series of lectures on translating, to develop mutual friendship and cooperation, and to work in the peace and quiet of the centre, away from the many duties of daily life. Twenty-one people, representing 11 languages, the institute's publishing house and the institute's international IT service, attended.
In this episode Pernilla Rosell interviews English translator Mary McGovern about the Translators' Week and her own experience of translating Martinus's works. Mary provides some insight into the translation process and describes the translation group's desire to make Martinus's world picture available in as many languages as possible. They see the translation work as a contribution to understanding ourselves and the world around us.

Episode 9: Health and ill-health in the perspective of spiritual science 0
Health and ill-health in the perspective of spiritual science
Our every thought, feeling and action affects our organs and cells. Our organism is a living universe that is pervaded by our consciousness. The idea of reincarnation sheds new light on questions of heredity, environment, lifestyle and the power of thought. Health and ill-health take us on a journey of research on many levels and, with suffering, our empathy and wisdom grow.

Episode 8: In Transition 2
Why do so many marriages end in divorce? Why are so many people lonely and don't find happiness in a traditional partnership? Why are there different types of sexuality? Why do many parents experience a conflict between wishing to spend time with their children and wishing to devote more time to intellectual and creative work? Are we experiencing a sexual evolution of humanity that is parallel to its intellectual and social development?
In this podcast episode, Mary McGovern from Copenhagen/Scotland and Pernilla Rosell from Stockholm discuss Martinus's analyses of the pole transformation and the effects of the changing balance of the poles that we can observe in society today.
According to Martinus, all human beings have two sexual poles in their superconsciousness, a masculine pole and a feminine pole. In the animal kingdom, one of these poles is latent, while the other is dominating, thus creating the two sexes that we know as male and female animals. A completely one-poled sexual state is characterised by the instinct for self-preservation and selfishness that we see in instinctual animal behaviour. For humans, the latent pole in both sexes is beginning to develop, which means that men and women are slowly developing into more intellectual, balanced and loving beings. Ultimately, a third sex will emerge, a truly human gender with the highest moral standard of neighbourly love. The sexual pole transformation is the driving force behind all creation.
Mary and Pernilla reflect on how different human beings experience this transitional period today and on how we can find support and a better understanding of human sexual evolution by studying Martinus's analyses. Pernilla also talks about how she first met Martinus's analyses through her grandmother and her father, and how she herself found support in Martinus's analyses of the sexual pole transformation during her own experience of going through a divorce.

Episode 7: Martinus Cosmology – the Theory of Everything 0
Since the dawn of our reasoning faculties we have tried to understand the universe around us. This enquiry has led to the evolution of science, religion and, more recently, spiritual science. Martinus Cosmology is such a spiritual science. It examines the meaning and purpose behind all physical and mental events in the universe. It looks at the law of cause and effect, the difference between the creator and the created, the law of contrasts and the absolute reality of eternity and infinity. It also shows that prayer has a clear scientific basis, the understanding of which can contribute to one's understanding of both the pleasant and unpleasant occurrences in one's life. It looks into life on all levels – the microcosmic, the mesocosmic and the macrocosmic – and can be said to be a theory or science of everything, a science of the consciousness of God.
In the seventh episode of the Martinus Cosmology Podcast, Mary McGovern interviews Ole Therkelsen from Copenhagen, Denmark on Martinus Cosmology, God, the universe and science.
Ole Therkelsen (born in 1948) is a chemical engineer and a biologist with a life-long interest in Martinus Cosmology. He was introduced to Martinus Cosmology by his parents when he was a small boy, and since 1980 he has given over 1500 lectures on Martinus's world picture in fifteen countries in six different languages. Many of his lectures may be heard on www.oletherkelsen.dk and on www.youtube.com. He is the author of "Martinus, Darwin and Intelligent Design – A New Theory of Evolution" and "Martinus and the New World Morality".

Episode 6: All of a Sudden I Saw a White Triangle. Interview with Sarah Ann Kinnear 0
What does it mean to you to have a spiritual experience with signs and colours that you cannot explain? How can we learn more about universal love, intuition, eternity and infinity? In the sixth episode of the Martinus Cosmology Podcast, Pernilla Rosell interviews Sarah Ann Kinnear from Pensacola, Florida, about her personal spiritual experiences and her encounter with Martinus' cosmology, as well as her activities for promoting learning about Martinus' works in Pensacola.
Sarah worked as a teacher and as principal for 35 years and has written a seven-volume series of children's books entitled Little Pearl's Reflection, the first three of which have been published (see link below), illustrated by Bodil Sebrina Christensen. Sarah tells us about the inspiration she felt when she found Martinus' symbols and works and began studying them. She explains how some of Martinus' cosmic analyses and symbols have inspired her in her own life and in the creation of her children's books.
Sarah also tells us about her experience of taking part in the international summer courses at the Martinus Centre in Klint, Denmark.This podcast was recorded by Pernilla Rosell at The Martinus Centre in Klint, Denmark, on 12th August 2017, at the end of the summer season 2017 during Sarah's sixth visit to the centre.

Vaccine Deadline for All Rutgers Employees Remains in Effect
On December 7, 2021, a U.S. District Court in Georgia temporarily halted enforcement of President Biden's Executive Order 14042, which requires vaccination against COVID-19 for employees of federal contractors such as Rutgers.
The university will monitor the case and others like it. In the meantime, we will continue on our present course of requiring all faculty and staff to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Vaccination is the best way the university can protect the health and safety of all its employees and members of the university community with whom university employees come into contact.
The current requirement for all Rutgers employees to obtain their final dose of a COVID-19 vaccine by January 4, 2022, remains unchanged.
For the purposes of this requirement, employees are considered fully vaccinated against COVID-19 two weeks after receiving the final dose of a vaccine approved or authorized for emergency use in the United States or a vaccine that has been listed for emergency use by the World Health Organization (WHO). Currently these vaccines are those from BioNTech/Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson/Janssen, and AstraZeneca. At the current time, booster shots (as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) are not required to be considered fully vaccinated.
Vaccines continue to be a critical tool that offers us the safest environment possible during the global pandemic. Vaccination against COVID-19 will help protect the health and safety of all members of the university community, including students, faculty, staff, patients, and visitors.
How to Upload Your Vaccination Information
For the more than 96 percent of Rutgers employees who have already uploaded their vaccine records, no further action is required. If you are one of the few remaining Rutgers employees who has not yet uploaded proof of vaccination, please take a few minutes and upload your documentation to https://rtr.ipo.rutgers.edu/vaccines. Uploading the documents is simple and easy. If you cannot locate your vaccination information, it may be retrieved through the New Jersey Department of Health at https://njiis.nj.gov/core/web/index.html#/requestImmunizationRecord.
Providing proof of full vaccination by January 4, 2022, is not optional. Failure to provide proof of full vaccination or receive a university-approved exemption by January 4, 2022, will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
Vaccination Deadline
If you need to be vaccinated, please do so immediately. In order to meet the university's January 4, 2022, deadline, those choosing to receive the Moderna vaccine must have received their first dose by December 7, 2021, to allow for administration of the required second dose on January 4, 2022. For BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine, you must receive the first dose by December 14, 2021, to allow for administration of the required second dose on January 4, 2022. For the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine, you must receive that dose by January 4, 2022. Individuals choosing to receive a vaccine that has been listed for emergency use by WHO should assess the necessary timing to comply with the January 4, 2022, deadline.
Vaccines are widely and readily available at most healthcare providers, clinics, or local pharmacies. Rutgers University also offers free COVID-19 vaccines to eligible individuals at clinics in Camden, Newark, and Piscataway. No insurance card is required, and walk-ins are accepted.
Information on scheduling may be found at https://coronavirus.rutgers.edu/covid-19-vaccine.

The company estimates that the monthly demand for the region will be 550000 gallons of gasoline. Because of the size and speed differences of the trucks the number of deliveries or round trips possible per month for each truck model will vary. Trip capacities are estimated at 15 trips per month for the Super Tanker 20 trips per month for the Regular Line and 25 trips per month for the Econo-Tanker. Based on maintenance and driver availability the firm does not want to add more than 15 new vehicles to its fleet. In addition the company has decided to purchase at least three of the new Econo-Tankers for use on short-run low-demand routes. As a final constraint the company does not want more than half the new models to be Super Tankers.a. If the company wishes to satisfy the gasoline demand with a minimum monthly operating expense how many models of each truck should be purchased?b. If the company did not require at least three Econo-Tankers and did not limit the number of Super Tankers to at most half the new models how many models of each truck should bepurchased?

Q: Why do multiple instances of a Python object behave as if they were the same? I have come across this python behavior that looks counterintuitive at first sight: I have two objects, Simulation and SimulationResults, defined as follows:
class Simulation:
    def run_sim_1(self):
        results_logger_1 = SimulationResults()
        for _ in range(10):
            results_logger_1.append(1)
        return results_logger_1

    def run_sim_2(self):
        results_logger_2 = SimulationResults()
        for _ in range(10):
            results_logger_2.append(2)
        return results_logger_2

class SimulationResults:
    results = []

    def append(self,n):
        self.results.append(n)

Within the two Simulation methods, I instantiate a SimulationResult object: results_logger_1 and results_logger_2. My expectation was that these two instances would have been defined within the context of each method and then brought outside of it by returning them, therefore I would have expected two clearly defined instances.
However, when I run the code, it turns out that the two instances seem to be (or point at) the same object.
sim_1= Simulation()
results_1 = sim_1.run_sim_1()
print(len(results_1.results)) # 10, as expected right!
print(results_1.results) # [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1] also as expected

results_2 = sim_1.run_sim_2()
print(len(results_2.results)) # this is 20, rather than 10
print(results_2.results) # [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2] - I would have expected [2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2]

Why is this happening and how can I obtain two separate instances of the object?
I also have checked results_1 and results_2 memory address and it's different, plus the same behaviors appear when I instantiate a different Simulation object
sim_2 = Simulation()
results_3 = sim_2.run_sim_2()
print(len(results_3.results)) # this becomes 30!

A: SimulationResults.results is a class attribute shared by all instances. Make it an instance attribute instead.
class SimulationResults:
    def __init__(self):
        self.results = []

    def append(self,n):
        self.results.append(n)

Officer interrogates homeschoolers via invasive questionnaire
Sep 27, 2015 by OneNewsNow
Michael F. Haverluck –
A new homeschool family was given an unwelcomed greeting at the beginning of last school year when a truant officer visited their home in western Illinois to issue them an intrusive questionnaire.
Shortly after deciding to withdraw their child from public school in Quincy, Illinois, in order to homeschool, a truant officer arrived at the family's front doorstep to inspect and "check up" on the former publicly schooled student's home instruction program.
Attorneys at the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) — a Christian nonprofit organization based in Purcellville, Virginia, that champions parental rights and the freedom of home-based instruction — were soon notified by the parents about what took place. The family expressed their uneasiness over the intrusive nature of the visit.
"[The truant officer] said he was just checking on the child, since the family's homeschool program was not registered with the state," HSLDA reported. "The family explained that homeschoolers are not required to register, and the truancy officer said he knew that."
Interrogation by paper
Besides verbally questioning their validity as legitimate educators of their own child, the truant officer employed by the state continued the interrogation by issuing them an extensive questionnaire and demanding that the parents answer the invasive written inquiry.
"Its self-described purpose was to determine whether the family's program was 'at least commensurate with the standards of public schools,'" HSLDA attorneys divulged.
To determine whether the child was being "properly" instructed according to state standards and to obtain as much information about the homeschool student as possible, question upon question was presented to the family to answer — as if the "wrong" answer would disqualify them from being permitted to teach their own child.
"It asked for the education level of the parents, whether their child had been classified as a special education student, how many minutes of instruction were provided daily, and what subjects were being taught," lawyers with the legal group informed. "It [also] asked for any other information that might be helpful 'in determining the success of your child.'"
The homeschool family's fears were escalated after reading the threatening statement found at the end of the form.
"After reviewing your response, or lack thereof, to this inquiry, a determination will be made as to whether or not your child is in compliance with the compulsory attendance laws," the local public school district's form read.
Ending the inquisition
Reporting the unwarranted visit and interrogative form to HSLDA Senior Counsel Scott A. Woodruff, the family's bullying by public school officials and their invasive policies soon came to a close.
"Public schools have no jurisdiction over private schools (in Illinois, homeschools are considered private schools), and … private schools are not required to provide education 'commensurate' with public schools," Woodruff explained to the truant officer in a letter.
Woodruff also asserted that public school officials do not have the authority to dictate the educational standards of children being taught at home, noting that the questioning was inappropriate and unwarranted.
"'[T]he success of the child' is not a legally relevant question in determining whether the child's attendance at a public or private school satisfies compulsory attendance," the Virginia-based attorney asserted to the truant officer.
Pressing the issue of the home visit and written interrogation, Woodruff warned the public school officer that if the state agency took action against the homeschool family for merely choosing to ignore the questionnaire, it would be violating due process principles by implementing an unconstitutional procedure.
After sending the truant officer the letter demanding that he close the file on the harassed homeschool family, neither Woodruff nor the parents he was representing heard anything from the Quincy school official.

Q: FOPDE: $2x z_x + 3y z_y = x + y$ Solving the First Order PDE:$$2x z_x + 3y z_y = x + y$$
for $c_1$ I get: $$ c_1 =  \frac{x^3}{y^2} $$
I do not know how to go about solving for $c_2$
The correct general solution should be:
$$z = \frac{x}{2} + \frac{y}{3} + f\bigg(\frac{x^3}{y^2}\bigg)$$
How would one come to this calculation?
I would really appreciate your help

A: $$2x z_x + 3y z_y = x + y$$
Charpit-Lagrange characteristic ODEs :
$$\frac{dx}{2x}=\frac{dy}{3y}=\frac{dz}{x+y}$$
A first characteristic equation from solving $\frac{dx}{2x}=\frac{dy}{3y}$ that you found correctly :
$$\frac{x^3}{y^2}=c_1$$
A second characteristic equation from
$$\frac{dx}{2x}=\frac{dy}{3y}=\frac{dz}{x+y}=\frac{3dx+2dy-6dz}{3(2x)+2(3y)-6(x+y)}=\frac{3dx+2dy-6dz}{0}$$
See explanation below.
$$\implies\quad 3dx+2dy-6dz=0$$
$$z-\frac12 x-\frac13 y=c_2$$
General solution of the PDE on the inplicit form $c_2=f(c_1)$
$$z-\frac12 x-\frac13 y=f\left(\frac{x^3}{y^2}\right)$$
$$\boxed{z(x,y)=\frac12 x+\frac13 y+f\left(\frac{x^3}{y^2}\right)}$$
Explanation about combining fractions :
Use the well known basic property of the fractions :
$$\text{if}\quad \frac{A}{B}=\frac{C}{D} \quad \text{then}\quad \frac{A}{B}=\frac{C}{D}=\frac{c_1A+c_2C}{c_1B+c_2D}$$
$c_1$ , $c_2$ are arbitrary constants (not both nul}.
This property is valid for more fractions :
$$\frac{A}{B}=\frac{C}{D}=\frac{E}{F}=\frac{c_1A+c_2C+c_3E}{c_1B+c_2D+c_3F}$$
In above case $c_1=3\:;\:c_2=2 \:;\: c_3=-6 $ .

Q: Python re for custom sequence type I have a custom sequence-like object, s, that inherits collections.Sequence and implements custom __len__ and __getitem__. It represents a big blob of strings (>4GB) and is lazily loaded (I can't afford loading all into memory).
I'd like to do RE match on it, re.compile('some-pattern').match(s), but it fails with TypeError: expected string or buffer.
In practice, pattern is not something like '.*' that requires the entire s to be loaded; it usually takes the first few tens of bytes to match; however, I can't tell beforehand the exact number of bytes and I want keep it general, therefore I don't want to do something like re.compile('some-pattern').match(s[:1000]).
Any suggestions on how to create a str-like object that is accepted by re?
The following code illustrates my unsuccessful attempts. Inheriting from str is not working either.
In [1]: import re, collections

In [2]: class MyStr(collections.Sequence):
    def __len__(self): return len('hello')
    def __getitem__(self, item): return 'hello'[item]
   ...:

In [3]: print(re.compile('h.*o').match(MyStr()))
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-3-df08913b19d7> in <module>()
----> 1 print(re.compile('h.*o').match(MyStr()))

TypeError: expected string or buffer

If the big blob of string comes from a single big file then I can use mmap and it should work. However, my case is more complicated. I have multiple big files, I mmaped each of them and have a custom class that is a concatenated view of them. I actually want to perform the RE match starting from any given position in the view. I omit such details in the original question, but I think it might be helpful to someone who wants to understand why I have such weird requirement.

A: There is no special method you can implement that'll let re.match() accept your custom class and not require that you read all data into memory.
That's because there currently is no special method that'll let your custom class act as a buffer-protocol object. re methods only accept str strings (which do implement the buffer protocol), and unicode strings (and subclasses, data accessed directly, not via __unicode__). The re methods do not accept arbitrary sequences, and only the buffer protocol would let you avoid reading the whole thing into memory in one go.
Rather than try to implement a custom object, however, if your data is stored entirely in a single on-disk file (but is too large to read into memory), you want to use memory mapping. Memory mapping uses the virtual memory facilities of your OS to access portions of a file as sections of memory.
The virtual memory subsystem lets your OS manage more memory than your computer has physically available in the form of RAM, by putting chunks of memory ('pages') on to your harddisk instead. As memory is accessed, the OS keeps swapping out pages from disk to physical memory and back again. Memory mapping simply expands this functionality to existing files, making it possible to treat a very large file as a single, large string where the OS will ensure that parts that you try to access are available in memory when needed.
In Python, this functionality is available via the mmap module, and a memory mapped file is implements the buffer protocol. You can pass such objects directly to re.match(), and Python and your OS will work together to search the data in the file for a match.
So, given a large file filename = '/path/to/largefile' and regular expression pattern, this would search the file for a match at the start for your pattern:
import re
import mmap
import os

fd = os.open(filename, os.O_RDONLY)
mapped = mmap.mmap(fd, 0)
matched = re.match(pattern, mapped)

If you have multiple files, you need to find a way to concatenate them. Virtually, or physically. If you are using Linux, you can concatenate files virtually by using a network block device, or you can use a FUSE virtual file system. See A virtual file containing the concatenation of other files.


Mad Catz M.O.J.O. Android console now shipping, but is it worth $250?
Mad Catz M.O.J.O. Android console now shipping, but will it succeed at $250?
Mad Catz is now shipping its newly-released M.O.J.O. Android console . The unit is great as an Android console and comes with some awesome features (learn more about it in our hands-on post), but does its superiority over consoles like OUYA and the GameStick make it worth $250?
What is better about the Mad Catz M.O.J.O.?
Though expensive, the Mad Catz M.O.J.O. is, in fact, about the best Android console around. My favorite feature is that it supports the full Google Play Store, making your gaming capabilities virtually endless. You can take all your current games and play them on your TV. The ecosystem is not a "walled garden" and any game can be had.
This comes with all the components you would expect an Android device to have, save for the screen. The microSD slot will ensure you have enough storage space for all your gaming. Bluetooth and USB support also help with that, as well as giving you the ability to use other controllers, keyboards and/or mice. Hell, you can even use the controller to play games with your smartphone on-the-go. A clip to hold your device is sold separately.
Is all of that worth $250?
The Mad Catz M.O.J.O. is a stunning Android console, but we have a hard time believing it is really worth that much. That is the same price as the Tegra Shield, which has very good specs. The Shield may not have all the ports, but it has a screen and is pretty much a full-featured tablet.
To make things much more impressive, $250 is awfully close to the price of a PlayStation 3 or an Xbox 360. It's hard to justify buying an Android console for the same price as a full console. Especially with other Android consoles are going for $100 or less.
Is this any better than buying a Nexus 7 and a bluetooth controller? For some people, probably, but I don't think this console will really take off. There are way too many options at the same price point (and lower) that make for a better set-up to most users.
Regardless, those of you who find the device feasible can purchase it right now! It is available straight from Mad Catz' website.

Brno became the host of the prestigious ICN+T conference thanks to the successful joint request of CEITEC and the Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic in 2013. The main organizers of the conference were representatives of the two institutes - Antonín Fejfar from Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences and Professor Tomáš Šikola, coordinator of the research program of Advanced Nanotechnology and Microtechnology at CEITEC and Director of the Institute of Physical Engineering at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Technology.
The scientific program of the conference, which was attended by 35 invited scientists from different parts of the world, covered a wide range of topics including microscopy, spectroscopy, nanosystems, nanomechanics, nanomagnetism, nano-optics, nanobiotechnology and development in materials used in nanotechnology. Among the plenary speakers was the lead researcher, Jerry D. Tersoff from the US company IBM, experimental physicist Ali Yazdani of Princeton University, and nanoscopy specialist Rainer Hillenbrand from the Spanish association for nanotechnology research NanoGUNE. Another of the speakers was Ondřej Křivánek, co-founder of Nion of Washington, which belongs to one of the world's leading developers of highly sensitive electron microscopes. Finally, the Austrian physicist, Ulrike Diebold, from the Vienna University of Technology presented.
In addition to more than 50 plenary sessions and a diverse technical program, it was possible to visit an exhibition with the latest available equipment in nanotechnology, including the world's leading supplier, TESCAN, with the unique electron microscope TESCAN VEGA 3 LMU allowing the observation of conductive and non-conductive materials . Delegates also had a unique opportunity to visit local institutions, get acquainted with their technical equipment and listen to presentations about new developments in the scientific field. To support the building and strengthening of social networks and friendship, a social dinner was held in the very center of Brno, in Besední dům.
The ICN+T event has gone extremely well. All the participants and the speakers I spoke to spoke about the conference were very pleased. They praised the program, the food, the gala dinner and the organizational skills. We were very happy with Mrs. Mačakova's team from C-IN and deserves to be awarded for the co-organization of the event," added Professor Tomáš Šikola with a smile. After the last conference in Busan, South Korea, C-IN, which provided professional services including accommodation for participants and technical and production services, continued the success and friendly atmosphere of the ICN+T conference. Next year, the event will take place in Malmö, Sweden. You can check the photogallery from the conference in this link.

For those of you who haven't been keeping up with the series, here is a quick rundown. The family patriarch, Morris Robeson is found dead from a single gunshot wound to the back of the head. (Date of Death: 11/20/2000) Oil will be discovered on Morris' property in the future. Who will cash in? That will depend on who survives.
Morris' neighbor is a highway patrol officer who stopped by the crime scene. Joe Weaver was off-duty and told the family the other officers were surprised to see him. He immediately noticed the scene wasn't being handled as a homicide, but rather a suicide. Weaver was suspicious and began his own separate investigation.
Morris and his wife Mable had raised their grandson, Wayne Robeson as their own and would treat him as their third child. Weaver spoke with Wayne and wanted to know the whereabouts of one Gerald Willhelm. Gerald has a strange story to tell, but his story will be coming later.
Morris Robeson was a veteran of WWII and had been struggling with neck and upper back pain associated with degenerative disks in his spine. This had reached the point to where he was no longer able to trim his own hair with an ear/nose trimmer. This trimmer was weighed recently to give the reader a reference point. The trimmer weighed less than 2 ounces. Yet, despite the V.A. records to prove Morris Robeson's disability, the authorities continue to label this case a suicide. To further plant doubt in your mind, the gun used to kill Robeson was a .38 Colt revolver with a 6-inch barrel. This weapon was weighed as well. Its weight was just under 1lb.
If a man cannot lift 2 ounces, how can he lift a 1lb-object, twist it up behind his head, and pull the trigger?
After the death of his neighbor, Joe Weaver continues his investigation over the course of several months, but his truth-seeking venture was cut short late in September 2001. If the Morris Robeson case wasn't strange enough, here are the facts of the alleged suicide of Joseph Weaver.
On the day before his death, Joe's wife picked up her daughter and their son from school. Joe's step-daughter reported to her guidance counselor that Joe had molested her. (There has never been any proof of this claim, and it seems to just come out of the blue.) The wife tells her son to call Joe and ask him to leave the barn and go into the house. Yes, this is what it states in the report. Why was he in the barn? Why were these allegations brought up just now? Why was Joe's young son the one who had to call his dad and tell him to leave the barn? Could Joe not decide to walk to the house on his own?
Why was he "holed-up" in his barn in the first place?
If that wasn't unusual enough, the wife then calls Sherriff Price to go to the house and check on Joe. Price states he arrives just in time to see Joe Weaver walk slowly out of his barn and toward the house. He supposedly stopped before getting to the house, pulled out his service revolver, and killed himself. To this day the authorities have denied all FOIA requests stating there wasn't a police report written. No crime scene photos were taken.
This is proven false, however, when an anonymous witness sends a picture of the first page of the police report on Joe Weaver's death to the family.
Why did Joe Weaver want to talk to Gerald Wilhelm? Why would all of this occur just a few years before the big oil boom in Centerville, Texas? Who has the farm now? How would Wilhelm con his way into the Robeson family? Why would his father-in-law be killed less than a year later? Hold on, guys. Chaos has settled down upon the Robeson farm like a tornado.

When Rumors Destroy Cold Cases – The Jennifer Harris Story
by synovacantrell June 14, 2018
Small town America might be a great place to raise a family, but sometimes it isn't the best place to die. Many rural communities lack the resources and experience to solve major homicide cases. When you add in the rumor mill of small-town gossip and the loss of major evidence, some people wonder if the case is solvable. Such is the case of Jennifer Harris from Bonham, Texas.
Jennifer Harris was a vivacious 28-yr-old with fiery red curly hair. Everyone around the community loved her including two men; Rob Holman and James Hamilton.
Holman was Jennifer's childhood sweetheart. They were married shortly after high school and it looked like a happily ever after situation. Unfortunately, this wouldn't be the case. The couple had a rocky relationship and some even claim Rob had abused Jennifer. It hasn't been confirmed whether this was physical or verbal abuse and no police reports were ever filed.
As time passed and Jennifer went to college the couple began to grow apart. Rob enjoyed the laid-back pace of Bonham, Texas while Jennifer was enjoying living in the city. Things began to fall apart even further when Jennifer met James Hamilton in the massage therapy school she had been attending. The two hit it off and decided to open a business together. That wouldn't be all they did together and soon Jennifer was living in the city and seeing James while Rob moved back to Bonham.
Hamilton was living with the mother of his two children and had a baby on the way but was insisting on marrying Jennifer. Jennifer refused and was quickly losing interest in Hamilton. By early 2002, Jennifer had lost her massage business with Hamilton and was facing bankruptcy. What does she do? She looks up Rob, who had a new girlfriend by this time. It didn't seem to matter. The couple frequently met and slept together. All this soap opera style drama would lead up to Mother's Day, 2002 and a mystery that has haunted Bonham, Texas for sixteen years.
Jennifer visits a friend during the early evening hours of May 12, 2002, and leaves around 8 pm. She wouldn't be seen alive again. A woman takes her dog out for a walk down a lonely country road and notices a dark green jeep abandoned at the side of the road but thinks little of it until she sees it again the next day. She calls the police. The Jeep is quickly identified as belonging to Jennifer Harris. It would be a long six-day search before a fisherman would discover Jennifer's lifeless body in the Red River.
The medical examiner determined the cause of death to be homicidal violence but couldn't determine the exact cause of death. Her body had been severely decomposed, and her uterus was missing. This is where the rumor mill of small towns kicked into overdrive. As soon as that story was released theories ran wild. Friends of Jennifer Harris said she had confided in them about her pregnancy, but there wasn't any hard evidence to verify it. Could she really have been pregnant, and the murderer removed her uterus to destroy evidence? This is what the townsfolk claimed. It would be years before her autopsy would be reexamined. After this examination, it is determined that Jennifer's uterus was indeed missing, but so were other organs and body parts. The latter examiner determined that Jennifer had suffered some sort of severe injury that left her organs exposed to fish and turtles in the river.
Both Rob Holman and James Hamilton were initially interviewed by police and were named as possible suspects, but no arrests were made. Hamilton claimed he was at an Mc Donald's over an hour away on the May 12th. After reviewing the case files new investigators and consultants are discouraged by the way this alibi was handled. It wasn't verified properly, and no one ever pushed it. Rob Holman, on the other hand, claimed to be out driving around for over five hours on the night Jennifer disappeared. Hamilton supposedly passed a lie detector test, but Rob was never given one. To make matters worse, most of the evidence, in this case, has either been lost or damaged when the storage pods got wet. The clothing that was found was lost and so was her laptop. Nobody was even sure if the jeans and t-shirt were even Jennifer's.
This case has more twists and turns than a roller coaster so hold on, there's more. Jerry Harris took notes on the case from the beginning and was determined to find justice for his daughter. This meticulous record keeping brought up a sinister revelation years later. Two months after Jennifer's body was found her ex-boyfriend, James Hamilton called the grieving father to ask about Jennifer's life insurance policy. In all the case files, this is the only reference to an insurance policy. I have many questions about this. Was there actually an insurance policy taken out on the life of Jennifer Harris? If so, who was the beneficiary? Was there money paid out? Who received it? None of this has been reported. If the beneficiary was Rob or James then that would supply the investigators with a serious motive for murder. Who knows if this lead was even followed? The case file for Jennifer Harris is so slim no one knows what leads were followed and which ones weren't.
A year later, a woman is watching the news when she hears about the Harris cold case. Incredibly, Deborah Lambert hadn't heard about the case. She quickly called the police and gave a recorded statement. Deborah and her mother had driven across the Red River Bridge on Mother's Day a year earlier and had witnessed a frightening scene around 5 pm. She vividly recalled a red-headed woman being rough-housed by three men. Deborah said she made eye contact with the woman and saw terror in her expression. Her mother said, "that girl is about to be raped and killed." Deborah claimed she was too afraid to call the police at the time. Deborah claimed two men were wearing jeans and one man was wearing shorts. Because of the time discrepancy, the original investigators dismissed Deborah's statement completely. The new team doesn't dismiss it so quickly. In reality, the time difference can be explained. Most people don't continuously watch the clock. Deborah and her mother could have traveled across the bridge later than she remembered, and or Jennifer's friend could be mistaken on the time she left her home.
Jennifer's younger sister Alyssa and her filmmaker husband Barry has taken up the case along with private investigator Daryl Parker and the new sheriff Mark Johnson. Everyone hopes to find justice for Jennifer. This case was recently highlighted on the show 48 Hours. Hopefully, the renewed interest in the case will generate some leads. If Deborah Lambert's statement is correct, there could be two other men out there that know something about this case.
At one point, the local D.A. was accused of being involved in the murder of Jennifer Harris. This rumor was completely unfounded but based on the fabricated fact that her uterus was missing. Authorities researched this rumor extensively and found absolutely no connection, but the D.A. still lost his job over this case.
This case was so mishandled that people wonder if it can be solved at this point. I believe it can, but I have many questions. Here are a few of my questions and theories.
– Is it normal for a body to decompose so quickly in the river, or was she partially mutilated before her body was dumped?
– I would like to know what happened to Rob. Did his second marriage fall through? Is his wife/ex-wife still alive?
– Did a forensic team investigate Jennifer's Jeep?
– Has anyone checked Jennifer's online footprint? Yes her laptop is missing, but surely her accounts would still be there. Everyone had a MySpace account. If someone remembered Jennifer's email address then they might be able to reopen the accounts and see who she was talking to at the time of her death.
My suspicion and theory:
Rob Holman claimed Jennifer had called him and wanted to see him on the evening of May 12th. He told the police that he refused to meet her because he had plans with his new girlfriend, but when asked for an alibi Rob said he didn't have one. He was out driving around for four hours that night.
Ok. What is it then? Was he with his new girlfriend, or was he out driving around? Also, I looked up the historical weather data for that day. It was rainy, overcast, and pop up thunderstorms all evening. Who drives around in thunderstorms? Curious.
I have reached out to Sherriff Johnson and Daryl Parker with questions about this case. I haven't heard back from them as of this writing, but I will update you all when I get some answers to my questions. As always, if you have any information regarding the murder of Jennifer Harris, please contact the Fannin County Sherriff's office at (903) 583-2143

The Austin Bomber's Reign of Terror
by synovacantrell March 23, 2018
Three weeks of terror comes to a close when the Austin bombing suspect, Mark Conditt commits suicide by detonating one of his own creations in his vehicle as the swat team approached. This should be the end, right? No. Along with the bomber's death comes more questions. Why? How? Are there more bombs waiting to detonate?
Austin is known for the slogan "Keep Austin Weird," but now this saying seems inappropriate. Nails tearing through human beings is not the definition of weird Austin was looking for. Random targets ranging from fathers to teens, to elderly women was not the definition of weird. One victim's grandfather described how nails were embedded in his grandson's kneecaps. This is not weird. It's sick. How can someone slaughter a 39-year-old father on his front porch? Neighbors say they have never seen so much blood. What about his daughter? I hope to God she wasn't there to witness her father torn to shreds by this monster. No. This isn't the end of the terror.
After researching online, I have assembled a crude timeline of these events. I will try to relate the facts and minimize my emotions, but I will not guarantee anything.
March 2, 2018 – 6:50 am – 1100 Block of Haverford Dr. Austin, Texas:
Anthony House, a 39-yr-old father, steps out of his front door and notices a package left overnight on his porch. It's a beautiful Friday morning in Austin. He doesn't know the moment he leans over to pick up the package that his life is over.
A loud explosion rocks the neighborhood and rattles the windows across the area. Nails shoot everywhere. Neighbors rush to help the man but to no avail. Paramedics arrive on the scene, but Mr. House dies shortly afterward. He leaves behind an 8-year-old daughter and a legacy of a loving father.
House was the stepson of Rev. Freddie Dixon, former pastor of the United Methodist Church for over 22 years. At first, police think of this as an isolated event.
March 12, 2018 – 4800 Block of Old Fort Hill Dr. Austin, Texas:
Draylen Mason, 17 and his mother stood over their kitchen table as they opened a package that had been left on their porch. No thoughts of death entered their minds. Moments later the bomb exploded killing the teenager and severely wounding his mother.
Mason was an accomplished bass guitarist with the Austin Youth Orchestra. He traveled with his music and competed with his oversized instrument. His conductor was quoted as saying, "Draylen could have accomplished anything." The talented musician was set to attend the University of Texas in the fall. His mother is in bad shape, but doctors believe she will survive.
March 12, 2018 – 6700 Block of Galindo St. Austin, Texas:
A press conference is held to relate the events of the murder of Draylen Mason. Within moments of the conference, another package explodes wounding Esperanza Herrera, 75.
Herrera was visiting her mother who required care daily. Without a thought, she picked up the package as she entered the house. Nails exploded through the poor woman in an instant. She would survive the terror, but without several fingers and a leg. It was later discovered the package was intended for another address and had been delivered to the house by mistake.
By this point, police are wondering if the bombings are a hate crime. The first two victims were African American, and Herrera was of Hispanic descent.
March 18, 2018 – 4800 Block of Dawn Song Dr. Austin, Texas:
Two unidentified white males in an affluent part of town are walking along Dawn Song Dr. and accidentally crossed a tripwire. The bomb detonated sending the two men to the hospital, but they will survive. The officials told everyone to stay inside their homes and kept the neighborhood under lockdown until 10 am. Even school buses weren't allowed in.
This bombing occurred six hours after the authorities held a press conference pleading with the public for tips and information. Some wonder if this was a response to the police.
March 20, 2018 – FedEx bombs:
Two separate packages were left at separate FedEx facilities one in San Antonio and the other in Austin. As a package traveled along a conveyer belt it detonated and wounded a FedEx employee. The package had been addressed to Austin.
The second package was discovered in an Austin facility but was removed by a HazMat team without incident.
This is when the bomber made a critical error. He was not only seen on surveillance videos delivering the packages, an outdoor surveillance camera recorded his license plate.
March 21, 2018 – Red Roof Inn, Round Rock, Texas:
As authorities close in upon the 24-yr-old suspect, Mark Conditt he jumps in his vehicle and takes off down the road a short way. As the police box in his vehicle and the SWAT team move in, he detonates yet another bomb and takes his own life.
This should be the end, but as more information becomes public, the more questions are raised. Conditt seemed to be raised in a normal Christian family. He was homeschooled then attended a local community college. His family is in shock upon hearing the news. Police found a 25-minute confession video Conditt recorded the night before his death. It seemed he was more interested in detailing his bomb-making skills than he was about his motives. He professed to be a psychopath and said, "I wish I was sorry, but I'm not."
Another disturbing twist:
Conditt graduated in 2013 and his proud mother posted it on Facebook like any mother would. She also stated he was considering going on a Missions trip before attending college.
How does a boy go from a mission trip mentality to slaughtering people with bombs? I will keep you posted on this case as it progresses.

We are finding that the site is too complicated for some users to navigate properly. The owner is firmly decided on the structure of the site, and it works for SEO, so that cannot change. This is the design they want and are happy with so generally will remain the same, however we would like some select elements in the UX flow redesigned.
Pretend you are very old and arriving on a category page via search results, then make it easy to get from there to completing an order. For that purpose, a UX flow diagram/storyboard from entry at a category page to order completion highlighting interaction with the redesigned elements is optional but useful.
Site color scheme needs to remain as is. You can design basic UI elements to be added if you think they will be useful. Only looking for the elements listed above, don't go nuts and do a full site redesign.
Deliverable is AI, PSD, or detailed BMPR. No Sketch files please.
I don't need pixel perfect mockups and the contest prize isn't worth it, so be smart and work accordingly. I am interested in the UX/UI not photoshop drop shadows.
This contest is mostly just to get ideas and hopefully find some designers that we think we can have a mutually beneficial relationship long term. The final design may or may not be implemented on site.
Rejected - You are fake news. You submitted a template or copy pasted something else that's not relevant to the competition.
1 star - I don't use this because I think it's rude.
2 stars - Not going to work, but can see you put in effort. Back to the drawing board please and start over if you want to win. You likely won't get feedback on this because my feedback is "do something completely different ".
3 stars - Alright, about the same as what I think I could do myself. You'll need to be a bit more innovative to get bumped up a star.
4 stars - Getting There, will try to provide constructive feedback to improve it.
5 stars - Can't think of suggestions for you and would consider using on site.
If you have any questions please post on contest board and look forward to seeing your entry.
I won't be able to give any more feedback before the end of this contest due it being 2:30am. From what I can see right now whoever is the contest winner will still need to put in some extra revisions before I'd be able to give a five star review, I'd say a few hours at least. If you aren't prepared for that please withdraw or don't submit, otherwise good luck!
Before I get any more submissions I'll let you all know that it's a two column layout for the catalog page, and a one page layout for the checkout, these things can't change.
i've replied to your feedback. please check. thank you.
Please check #3 Thank you.
The contest will run full length, although if you want feedback you will need to make a submission soon, as it is quite late here.
working on it, do not close this contest earlier. Thank you, Bogdown.
Please read the requirements carefully before submitting.
just UX ? well for menu, header and etc can screenshot ?
If you want to include header, menu and any other elements in background for context you can do that but it's not necessary.
gotcha. Contest will run full length.
hiii can are you there?
