Slava Mogutin
NYC Go-Go
by Slava Mogutin
Slava Mogutin, the notorious Russian dissident-turned-art-star and creator of the critically acclaimed Lost Boys (powerHouse Books, 2006), returns with his second monograph, NYC Go-Go, a tribute to the golden age of New York City nightlife.
The once-glittering club world had all but disappeared by the time Mogutin arrived in America in the mid-1990s. Under Mayor Rudy Giuliani's controversial 'Quality of Life' campaign, downtown clubs paid the ultimate price: owners were branded community pariahs and paid crippling fines for alleged disruptiveness, while others were prosecuted for criminal acts; many legendary night spots were wiped off the map altogether.
In his new book, Mogutin documents the ever-shrinking downtown gay scene, taking us inside remaining joints like the Cock, Boysroom, and Mr. Black. NYC Go-Go is a wild and raunchy journey into the decaying but utterly decadent underworld of hustlers and go-go boys. Some of them are 'rough trade'—thugs with criminal pasts, busted for prostitution, drugs, or armed assault—while others are 'gay for pay,' married with kids and hustling for their families; most are Mogutin's friends. NYC Go-Go captures the spirit of a scene under fire with Mogutin's trademark raw, in-your-face style.

Long recognized as a master teacher at writing programs like VONA, the Loft, and the Stonecoast MFA, with A Stranger's Journey, David Mura has written a book on creative writing that addresses our increasingly diverse American literature. Mura argues for a more inclusive and expansive definition of craft, particularly in relationship to race, even as he elucidates timeless rules of narrative construction in fiction and memoir. His essays offer technique-focused readings of writers such as James Baldwin, ZZ Packer, Maxine Hong Kingston, Mary Karr, and Garrett Hongo, while making compelling connections to Mura's own life and work as a Japanese American writer.
In A Stranger's Journey, Mura poses two central questions. The first involves identity: How is writing an exploration of who one is and one's place in the world? Mura examines how the myriad identities in our changing contemporary canon have led to new challenges regarding both craft and pedagogy. Here, like Toni Morrison's Playing in the Dark or Jeff Chang's Who We Be, A Stranger's Journey breaks new ground in our understanding of the relationship between the issues of race, literature, and culture.
The book's second central question involves structure: How does one tell a story? Mura provides clear, insightful narrative tools that any writer may use, taking in techniques from fiction, screenplays, playwriting, and myth. Through this process, Mura candidly explores the newly evolved aesthetic principles of memoir and how questions of identity occupy a central place in contemporary memoir.
To take honest stock of ourselves and to place our experience within the larger world, this is the task of the ideal writer, work that is made harder in a literary and political climate created to validate the experiences of certain numbers at the expense of excluding and denying even the existence of others of us. David Mura faces this challenge head-on and gives us a book that is essential reading for anyone who considers the writer's art a serious, and sacred, opportunity to transform the world. A Stranger's Journey speaks to writers and teachers willing to embrace the task of complicating our idealized version of reality and who want to push themselves, and others, to face 'the blemishes and blasphemies' of our lives with clarity and passion. Mura takes his place among an illustrious group of spirit guides, from Baldwin to Danticat, from Naipaul to Diaz, in showing us exactly how to construct the requisite tools in order to dismantle the master's house.
Upon finishing this book, I think that we will no longer be strangers. We will no longer feel that we are on our journey alone. This book is the intersection where our paths meet, where we can forge bonds that transcend the racial divide. Maybe from here on out, we can accompany each other on our journeys as friends and fellow artists, but most importantly, as fellow humans.
"A Stranger's Journey is an essential work of literary criticism and memoir, challenging readers and writers alike to think about writing, race, and identity in new ways."

Let us ease your stress
We understand the emotional challenges of planning a funeral can be overwhelming, and that's why we're here: to ease the burden and support your family through the entire funeral process. At Funeraria del Angel in Mission, you will never be rushed. You and your family may take as long as you wish to plan a fitting tribute for your loved one. Our caring staff will guide you every step of the way.
A range of services offered
Funeraria del Angel conducts funeral and memorial services and assists with obituaries. For those who desire cremation, we coordinate and handle all the details with our local crematorium, Heavenly Grace, while still conducting the memorial services at 1 of our 2 chapels—or a place of your choosing.
Chapel of Remembrance is a tranquil building that seats up to 175 people. The chapel has 5 stained-glass windows, a raised ceiling and flexible chair seating. It's located in the northern side of our building and is beautifully lit by chandeliers.
Chapel of Serenity has a traditional atmosphere. Located on the south side of the funeral home, this chapel has 1 large stained-glass window and pew seating. It's nearest to our main entrance and seats up to 150 people.
Both chapels are wheelchair accessible. Each has its own foyer and hospitality room for family and friends to gather casually. Though the chapels are non-denominational spaces, we can provide religious artifacts, such as crucifixes, for any funeral service.
Throughout the years, families have trusted us to provide unique services for unique lives. We always look for ways to customize funeral services, taking the time to speak with each family and hear their stories of their special people.
A personalized funeral can mean many things. It could mean coordinating with attendees and staff to wear a favorite color. It could mean a taco buffet and a margarita machine. The possibilities for celebrating life are nearly endless.
Serving the Hispanic community
Funeraria del Angel and Valley Memorial Gardens serve the families of Mission, McAllen, Sharyland, Edinburg, Palmhurst and Palmview, especially when they need compassion and patience, and though we handle services for people of all backgrounds and religions, we are especially experienced at serving Hispanic, Catholic and Christian families.
Our exclusive services—including bilingual personnel, hospitality rooms, transfers to country of origin, extended visitation hours, in-home visitation and family rooms—offer Hispanic families the opportunity to honor their loved ones according to their traditions.
Please call us anytime, and if your family needs financial assistance with funeral or burial costs, please let us know. We are here to help.
Valley Memorial Gardens has been the final earthly resting place for Mission-area families since the early 1950s. The cemetery grounds are expansive, with main sections on either side of Taylor Road.
In the mid-1990s, we joined the Dignity Memorial® network, the largest network of funeral, cremation and cemetery providers in North America. Joining the Dignity Memorial family allowed us to make significant updates to both the funeral home and cemetery.
In 2005, Funeraria del Angel was built just north of the cemetery office. The funeral home is where we conduct our funeral and memorial services for families. We also have 4 arrangement rooms and 1 main office to meet with families in a comfortable setting.
The funeral home was remodeled in 2016. We changed the entire exterior for better aesthetics and expanded on the north side of the building to create a 2nd chapel. We also added a wing that allows the funeral home and cemetery teams to office in the same building.
Significant upgrades to the cemetery include 4 mausoleum complexes (the latest was finished in 2016), a variety of estates, niches and columbaria. To irrigate in the hot Texas summers, we installed a sprinkler system. Perhaps the most recognized change is the addition of charming white, ranch-style fencing around the cemetery perimeter.
Valley Memorial Gardens cemetery
Established in 1950s, Valley Memorial Gardens has served the burial needs of Rio Grande Valley families for more than half a century. Throughout the years, families have trusted us to provide exactly what they need and to honor their loved ones.
A scenic memorial park
Situated on more than 50 acres of mature trees and beautiful landscaping, the memorial park is a peaceful final resting place. The park features many individual gardens, 4 mausoleum complexes, niche walkways, private estates and much more.
We pride ourselves on providing an inviting atmosphere for our guests. The main entrance is dressed with stone for a natural feel. The entire perimeter of the cemetery is marked by white, ranch-style fencing.
We also have a section with a water fountain that's surrounded by a stone fence and contains a huge oak tree. There are niches and columbaria along the edges.
The cemetery spans across Taylor Road. The east side is the older section of the cemetery. This side of the cemetery has an abundance of trees and a forest-like feel. The west side has a more open feel and is the location of the funeral home. This side has fewer trees overall, but more palm trees. The west side holds more open inventory.
Cemetery burial choices
The cemetery is mapped into more than 30 sections, each with a name, such as The Garden of Prayer and The Last Supper. Walkway of Remembrance is lined with cremation niches.
Our cemetery is known for being innovative and providing families alternatives to traditional burial. There are 4 phases to the Good Shepherd mausoleum and inurnment options for people who choose cremation, including cremation gardens.
Valley Memorial Gardens is known for its excellent condition. The staff is constantly surveying the grounds and looking for ways to enhance the space. We believe ongoing improvements make a clear difference and pledge to you that we will maintain comfortable, inviting grounds for years to come.
Veterans funerals and the Garden of Glory
Funeraria del Angel works closely with the VFW for veterans funerals, complete with "Taps."
The Garden of Glory at Valley Memorial Gardens is a tribute to veterans and features a 5-piece mural depicting the 5 branches of the U.S. military: Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force and Coast Guard.
Funeraria del Angel and Valley Memorial Gardens believe in giving back to our community. We are continually looking for ways to make a difference in the Rio Grande Valley.
Funeraria del Angel donates to various organizations, including Mujeres Unidas, which provides counseling and financial assistance to abused women, and local high schools. Members of our teams participate in the McAllen Chamber of Commerce. We also participate in a variety of walk/run events to raise money and awareness for good causes.

All Saints, Margaret Street
HERITAGE HIGHLIGHTS: Superb Victorian church by William Butterfield
All Saints Margaret Street
All Saints Margaret Street is a Victorian Gothic masterpiece executed by William Butterfield beginning in 1849. Butterfield was a devout Catholic with strong views on church architecture, and in All Saints he found a perfect canvas to express his religious and architectural creativity.
The church was funded by a wealthy businessman, AJ Beresford Hope, who handed Butterfield the unenviable task of cramming a church, clergy house, and choir school into a narrow city plot, bounded on three sides by neighbouring buildings. Not only that, but the church buildings had to express the flowering Tractarian ideals then so prevalent in Britain.
Butterfield succeeded brilliantly; All Saints is probably the most influential urban church built in the Victorian era. In his design, Butterfield drew heavily on Gothic themes and work by AW Pugin (best known for his work on the Palace of Westminster).
All Saints opens onto Margaret Street by way of a small courtyard, entered through a pointed arch. The building exterior is of red and black bricks, pierced by small, randomly spaced windows. The church achieves its powerful emotional effect by dint of sheer height of the strong tower, which soars upward in imitation of Perpendicular Gothic style.
The side altar and canopy
The Tractarians believed that the exterior should be plain, unadorned, and time and money lavished to create an evocative interior. Influenced by the writings of John Ruskin, Butterfield set about to show how a relatively gloomy interior could be made to shine with colour through use of chequered patterns, polished granite piers, coloured tiles, rich stained glass, and a painted reredos by William Dyce, who is best known for his frescoes in the Palace of Westminster based on the tales of King Arthur.
Butterfield's aesthetic tastes changed over the years it took to finish All Saints, leading to arguments with the patron, Beresford Hope, who felt that his architect was deviating from the original vision. That said, the overall effect of All Saints is glorious, though not always harmonious, Victorian idealism realized.
As you walk down Margaret Street from the west you think perhaps you've mistaken the address, for the church is invisible until you are almost on top of it; set back in its own little courtyard and surrounded by high buildings on three sides. Even the striking tower is hardly to be seen from the street until you are facing the entrance.
By contrast to the courtyard with its subdued patterns of bricks, the interior is dimly lit, but once your eyes adapt to the dim light you realise you are standing in a special place, a place of rich colours and ornate patterns of polished stone and mosaics. The decorated arcades are muted by comparison to the mosaic scenes that take up the entire north, south, and west walls.
The pulpit is a stunning example of High Church Victorian decoration, with multi-coloured stone and marvellous carving. The entire decorative scheme is designed to draw your eye towards the high altar and the stunning reredos by Dyce. This truly is a magnificent work of art, one of the best pieces of Victorian church decoration in England.
All Saints is a place you will want to sit and soak up the ambience.
One thing we really enjoyed was that the parish has decided to make the church a space for street people to shelter. There were several people sleeping on rather uncomfortable looking pews at the back of the church. Yet it didn't feel like we were intruding into their shelter, rather it made the church feel very welcoming and a pleasant place to be, a city centre church that is a place of worship, a magnificent work of art, and plays an important role in looking after the local community.

Have you come to Theatre from another profession?
Serafina Salvador, 10 January 2016
I called a session on sharing and celebrating the creative, mental and emotional
condition of the courageous people that had or are transitioning into Theatre from
another profession; and to my surprise, there were at least 4 others at DandD11.
Sophie from Project Management, Amy from Charity work in World Peace and Conflict
Resolution (whoa!), Anthony from Retail, Marianne from Journalism and Olly from
Producing/Managing & many other things.
A common helpful catalyst to 3 out of the 5 participants was Julia Cameron and her
wonderful nurturing book The Artists Way. For me personally, the book helped me
celebrate my decision to go from disgruntled & paid to disgruntled & now devoted.
At DandD11 and in real life finding myself amidst discussions on how to get paid for
that devotion, I have concluded: its not just about having that "one idea of success" in
my mind become reality; but really allowing myself to trust the process of change I
began. And really listen to what it is teaching me about my experience as a human.
Which then, feeds my experience as artist. So its not (just) about becoming my
favorite director's new muse and getting paid; but about how this process of change
could contribute (through my art) to the performing arts as a whole and to the world. I
mean, I am much more than perfecting the process of being "told what to do" as a
muse to a famous director. Isn't that why I initiated the change in the first place? Do I
know for sure that process pays, well I am a work-in-progress and still finding out…but
I can tell you I am not broke!
Transitioning does not only have its philosophical lessons;as Sophie, who is just letting
go off software development (fully) pointed out. There are things to be learnt from
other professions, which then get brought in by people who transition. In her
experience, a number of processes she had employed, such as the "agile
methodology" and "failing quickly" could be employed usefully in the arts to "creatively
get to the same place/ a sane place". Similarly IT software development could use
"open spaces" to more efficiently create satisfying working processes that aren't
(almost always) stifled by the bureaucracy in corporate organisations.
Amy from the Charity sector, opened our eyes to how competitive charity work can be
and that she discovered through cardboard citizens the relevance of real life to theatre
making and has now moved to Manchester where she is re-organising life, to let
herself creatively express. She spoke of the welcoming atmosphere outside of London
to "new" artists regardless of having emerged or being emerging.
Anthony brought forward the very relevant question of "how do you structure your
life?". Its not like the day after you decide to become an actor, you are on stage or in
an audition room or even in front of an agent! This question just brings me back to my
realisation of keeping "the human experience" alive and the focus rather than just the
artist's experience. Anthony has a great opportunity at the RSC, which seems to be a
good combination of his past work ex and where he wants to be in the future - a
theatre maker. So it is possible and even the transition does not have to be painful.
Olly found that his life experience of being a jack of a lot of trades has now helped him
be General Manager at the Poets School in Bristol. Giving up the "extra" life pressures
of living in London has allowed him to find a place as a more relaxed participant in the
Arts. He finds he has more room and breathing space to think about his contribution to
theatre.
Marianne who started off as a journalist brought her experience as a theatre maker in
prague to the forum and commented that the potential for dynamism and exchange
between cultures was definitely more possible in England versus Hungary. She has
not given up her job as a journalist yet but makes her contribution as a playwright on
the side.
Some very practical statements that came out of the session:
Know Who You Are
Not Letting Criticism Destroy You
Have yardsticks for success but define them yourself
In Life you gotta get comfortable with "winging it" once in a while.
I end with a quote by Nichiren Daishonin, the Buddha of the Latter Day Law : The
deeper the roots of a tree the more prolific its branches, and the farther the source, the
longer the stream (Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, p. 736)
A very inspiring and encouraging session. Hope I didn't get anyone's points jumbled
up (for the people that participated) and hope whoever reads this gets a twinkle or two
out of it to go on and shine on your artist self!

The move means Britain could have to participate in elections to the European Parliament.
Theresa May has asked the European Union to delay Britain's departure date from the EU to June 30, with the possibility of leaving earlier. The request means it is possible that Britain will participate in European Parliament elections.
In a letter to Donald Tusk she wrote: "The government will want to agree a timetable for ratification that allows the UK to withdraw from the European Union before 23 May," but admitted that it would still have to prepare to participate in the elections. It is possible that those elected could never take their seats in Parliament.
The European Union was expecting May to put forward a process for MPs to agree on the future UK-EU relationship, senior EU officials told BuzzFeed News. The expectation was that May would have asked for — and will eventually need — a longer extension, the officials said.
Officials in Brussels believe May's talks with Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn are unlikely to deliver a specific outcome. Instead, the prime minister will emerge with a plan for the House of Commons to debate and vote on a series of options about the shape of Britain's future trading relationship with the bloc.
These could include a customs union and a confirmatory referendum. As a result, the exit date could be pushed to the end of December, or even as far back as March 31, 2020.
Following a long meeting between EU officials that took place yesterday to prepare for next week's European Council summit where EU leaders will decide on the terms of an extension to Article 50 — the framework that set out the two-year window for the UK's departure from the EU, which was initially due to end on March 29 — the president of the council, Donald Tusk, is set to ask the 27 leaders to grant the UK "a long but flexible extension".
The concept of a flexible extension was first reported by the BBC.
Commenting on May's letter, an EU source said: "Tusk's 'flextension' is absolutely compatible with the logic of PM May's request. UK can leave whenever ready to leave. But EU also has to protect interests of the EU, citizens and business by avoiding repeated/continuous cliff edges and emergency summits to extend Art. 50 further."
European government officials caution that things could change between now and next week because of the volatile political situation in London and differing views among EU leaders.
The decision on whether to grant a long extension and its terms will ultimately be one for the 27 leaders when they meet in Brussels on April 10. However, in the lead-up to next week's summit, the governments of some member states, including France, have adopted a tougher stance than others on the prospect of granting the UK a long extension to simply keep debating its options, an EU27 leader told BuzzFeed News.
These leaders want any long extension to Article 50 to be coupled with a clear purpose, and for the withdrawal agreement, which cannot be renegotiated, to be approved by the Commons.
A source close to French president Emmanuel Macron told Reuters on Friday that talks of granting Britain another extension were premature.
May and Corbyn, as well as Number 10 and Labour officials, have been locked in talks since Wednesday to find a way out of the impasse the country finds itself in after the prime minister's Brexit deal was rejected by Parliament on three occasions.
The two sides have described the talks as "constructive" and "productive".
Any process the prime minister and the leader of the opposition agree to, short of the Brexit deal being approved by MPs this coming week, would be followed by a UK request to extend Article 50 by an additional 9 or 12 months in order to give MPs enough time to come to a decision, explained another EU source, pushing the exit date to the end of December or as far back as March 31, 2020.
In such a scenario, the EU officials, who have been in contact with European capitals and UK counterparts, expect a resolution, possibly including the referendum, by the end of this year.
UK and EU negotiators would also have to work to amend the political declaration that outlines the future relationship, and time would be needed to ratify the agreements.
Under the EU's current thinking, the extension can be terminated early once the UK has ratified the withdrawal agreement — the legally binding terms of Britain's departure from the EU.
However, the UK will have to hold European Parliament elections because there is little chance of MPs ratifying the Brexit deal before May 22, said a senior EU official.
When EU leaders met at a European Council summit meeting last month, the 27 heads of state and government agreed to extend Article 50 until May 22 on the condition that MPs approved the withdrawal agreement. If they don't approve it, the UK has until next week to put forward another plan or face crashing out without a deal on April 12.
If, as expected, the deal doesn't go through in the next few days, and the UK does eventually ask for a longer extension before the April deadline, Britain will have to hold the elections in May. The cutoff date for setting the vote is April 11.
Any extension has then to be agreed unanimously by the EU's 27 remaining member states.
The 27 leaders are unlikely to grant a short delay to the Brexit process unless British MPs approve the deal before next week's meeting, and are not keen on the idea of multiple extensions. In effect they have left May with two options: no deal or ask for a long extension.
Any attempt by the prime minister to agree a customs union with Corbyn is likely to anger her MPs — and would not be certain to pass in Parliament. Only 36 Conservative MPs voted in favour of the arrangement in an indicative vote this week, while 236 opposed the measure.


Demetrius A. Springer, also known as Deacon D.A.S., is an independent Christian rapper, producer and speaker. He is the president, owner and founder of the Deacon Board Studios.
To date, he has released two full-length studio albums, an EP and a mix tape as a solo artist. Additionally, he has released a studio album and an EP as one of the members of the rap group, Anthum". Deacon was also a prominent feature artist on Beyond Life Music Ministries mix tape," Knightz of the Gospel". He released much of his work with the help of the Cincinnati based record label, "Ain't Yo Average Music" although he was never formally signed to the company.
Deacon made his debut as a Christian rapper on the 2004 release Lesun presents "The Message volume 2: More than a Radio Show". The Message was a series of mix tapes from the Cincinnati, Ohio community radio station 88.3FM WAIF and was used to promote its weekly show entitled, "It's the Message". Both the radio show and the mix tapes created a major avenue to promote Christian rap and Christian rappers throughout the Ohio Valley and Midwest region. Many prominent artists from the area such as k-Drama, Theory Hazit, D-MAUB and Kaleb Starr among others were introduced to the masses with the help of this vehicle. Deacon was no exception to this as he became a protégé of the Cincinnati Christian rap scene. He had his coming of age moment on the 2006 release, "The Massage" volume 3 Mix LP in which he appeared on three songs. The most notable of these songs was the classic track "Amber Alert" alongside Lesun, Roman, Chozen, Soulja K and J-Reign, a group of emcees who would become known as "Anthum".
In fall of 2006, Deacon released his first project, an EP titled "DeaConstruction: Destroy and Rebuild." This nine song project showcased his talent as a solo artist and wordsmith. Deaconstruction was well received by both Christian rap fans and non-Christian rap fans alike and was praised for its versatile sound in production, upperclass lyricism and overall message. DeaConstruction attained solid success as a independent release on the back of its 2 popular singles, "Bringin' That Fire"( the k-Drama produced banger) and "Searchin' 4 Love" featuring Matthew Bracey produced by Joshua James. Both singles, though contrasting in style, displayed the polished gift that Deacon possessed as an artist. "Bringin' That Fire" being the more aggressive southern stlye song and "Searchin' 4 Love" a classic hip-hop track that displayed Deacon's skill as a story teller and these songs help to propel him to the forefront of the Cincinnati rap scene.
As a member of the group Anthum, Deacon released a group-titled EP in January of 2007. The Anthum EP was acclaimed by Rapzilla.com's, Philip Rood for it's "fiery lyrics, dope beats, and catchy hooks, but also for its 'in yo ear' truth." The project only furthered the exposure for Deacon D.A.S. as an artist. Following the release of the Anthum EP and the positive feedback that it garnered, the group immediately began recording for the full-length studio album "Reset" but due to undisclosed reasons the album was shelved midway through production. This setback created an opportunity for Deacon to move full-steam ahead as a solo artist and that he did, releasing one of the rare jewels in the Christian Rap genre, his first full-length album title "Losin' My Religion" in March 2009.
The buzz surrounding Deacon grew at an accelerated pace following the release of "Losin' My Religion". This created more opportunities for Deacon to travel, minister and collaborate with other artists. In 2010, Deacon accepted a position of Youth Pastor at his home church and also opened the doors to his recording studio, The Deacon Board. These things provided Deacon with avenues to grow spiritually and build others. While the demand for Deacon to release more music became pressing from his fan base, their cry didn't fall on death ears. In 2011, he released not one but two solo projects, a mix tape "Under the Sinfluence" and his sophomore album "Triumphant" respectfully. The first of which being a free promotional project that again brought great reviews and a new level of success with over 10,000 downloads between three major HHH sites to date (not including secondary sites and hardcopies). This increased audience helped farther Deacon's reach as an independent artist the old fashion way, word of mouth. This also increased the anticipation for his sophomore album "Triumphant."
The album "Triumphant" served as a victory cry for Deacon and fellow believers in Christ alike. The lead single "Thy Will be Done" displayed all of the elements of the emcee that made Christian Hip-Hop fans fall in love with him. The song was personal but relatable while Deacon lyrically weaved words together like few lyricists could dream of doing. Although "Triumphant" was relatively a success as Deacon's best-selling album and hosted his best selling single ". It critically received mixed reviews. While again getting praise for his word play and comparisons to some hip-hop legends, Deacon also received criticism for the overall tone of the album that differed from his first. Some reviewers championed the album as progress and other called out Deacon for having more of a commercial sound than his previous efforts. With all things considered "Triumphant" was a positive for the artist.
After working behind the scenes engineering several songs and projects for different artists in the region, Deacon would once again find his way to the microphone. In 2013, the group," Anthum" resumed their work on the group album and released "Reset" in May of the same year.
In 2014 Deacon D.A.S. released a FREE promotional project entitled "Thru the Dust" which received great critical success. "Thru the Dust" prepared the way for his 3rd full-length album "Otherworldly" which released June 2015.

Q: Program crashes when running the PyArray_Max command I am attempting to pass a numpy array into some C++ boost code. My boost code crashes without any error output when running the PyArray_Max command. Any idea why this is happening?
I use the command "python numpy_setup.py build_ext --inplace" to build my program. All files should be in the same directory.
According to line 337 this API code on github, i am using the PyArray_Max command correctly:  https://github.com/davidandrzej/pSSLDA/blob/master/FastLDA.c
There aren't any other code examples on the internet (besides the linked API file) that show how to use PyArray_Max.
If you run my code (you can do this by running numpy_test.py from the command line), your console will print "here", but not "Max returned!".
Numpy_ext.cpp:
#include <boost/python/numpy.hpp>

    np::initialize();
    PyObject *elem;
    std::cout << "here" << std::endl;
    elem = PyArray_Max(array, NPY_MAXDIMS , NULL);  //NPY_MAXDIMS is the same as axis = None in python
    std::cout << "Max returned!" << std::endl;
    int value = PyLong_AsLong(elem);
    std::cout << value << std::endl;
}
BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(numpy_ext)

}

numpy_test.py:
import numpy

a = numpy.array([2,3,1,0])

numpy_ext.numpy_info(a)

Here is the setup file i am using:

» Mouse mileage is weird. Welcome back, Guest.
After the update to 1.6 my mouse mileage is skyrocketing, since my last pulse around 24 hours ago I've gone over 5 miles now (~8km) which is way higher than in 1.5.
If it is version 1.5 or 1.6 that's wrong I don't know..
My mouse have a DPI from 1-3200 and I run it on 3200.
What are your system specs? DirectX version too, if you please.
Not really sure what's wrong with it. I'll have a look into it and see if I can chuck out a fix before the next release.
I was just about to post this too. My current unpulsed mileage on one particular machine has suddenly jumped to 5.52 miles with 15k keystrokes. I barely make 5 miles per 100,000 keys on that machine usually.
Something is definitely strange here.
Did it suddenly just multiply itself or was it just not recording it properly?
I move my mouse (not the cursor) like 1cm up, down, left and right.
Edit: Nevermind this entire post was a lie!

Does Final Draft Work on Chromebook? (Solved)
Does Final Draft work on Chromebook?
Final Draft does not work natively on Chromebooks and Chrome OS. Final Draft is a Windows-only program that's designed to create scripts for film, TV, theater, games, and more. If you're using a Chromebook or Chrome OS device, you'll need an alternative screenwriting application.
Final Draft screenwriting software does not work on Chromebooks, but there are alternatives. In this article, we'll answer a few of the most frequently asked questions about Final Draft and Chromebooks.
Image by author via Canva—Does Final Draft Work on Chromebook?
Why Is Final Draft Not Compatible With Chrome OS?
Final Draft is not compatible with Chrome OS for several reasons. The main reason is that the software developers did not make it compatible. Chromebooks are designed to work with internet service, and Final Draft is mainly an offline application.
Final Draft requires an internet connection the first time you active it to work properly, but you don't need internet access beyond this first use.
Final Draft is essentially an off-line app. You can use it if you're disconnected from the internet, and Chromebooks are meant for internet connection. While you can switch a Chromebook into the "offline" mode, Final Draft will still not work.
While you will not be able to use Final Draft on Chromebooks, you can use alternative screenwriting software. There may even be a work-around using another application. We're going to dive into all of the best options (but still keep it brief and actionable).
What Computers Are Compatible With Final Draft?
Final Draft is compatible with Windows and Mac (Apple) computers and devices. You can activate Final Draft once and use the software on either platform. You can also use Final Draft on your Apple iPad or iPhone.
As I hinted earlier, there just might be a way to make a Chromebook compatible with Final Draft. Or, at least, to use Final Draft on your Chromebook. But it appears to take additional paid software, several steps, and you must have a specific type of Chromebook.
Let's look at this option next.
Is There a Way To Make Chromebooks Compatible With Final Draft?
In my research, I found a software called Crossover from Codeweavers that promises to enable Windows apps on Chromebook. There is not any specific information available about whether or not this works for Final Draft on Chromebooks, but if it may be the only option.
If you are desperate, maybe give it a try.
The downloadable software is called Crossover Chrome and allows you to use apps not available in the Google Play store. According to their website, there is a free trial. The regular price is $39.95 to $59.95 per month.
There is a nice step-by-step breakdown of how to run Scrivener on Chromebooks. Scrivener is another screenwriting software that does not work directly with Chromebooks. Someone, at least, has promised a work-around that you might be able to borrow for using Final Draft.
The gist is that you download both software (for a price) onto your Chromebook, then sync the two programs.
I can't promise you that it will work, but you can use the free trial of Final Draft to try it out. You will need a compatible Chromebook with an intel processor.
Worst case scenario, you cancel Final Draft and Crossover if it doesn't work for you.
Alternatives to Final Draft for Chromebook
If you're using a Chromebook, there are several alternatives to Final Draft. Here is a look at some of them. I created this simple table so that you could easily learn more about the various screenwriting software.
Celtx Studio $ Learn more
WriterDuet $ Learn more
Writer Pro $ Learn more
Scrivener $$ Learn more
Screenwriting software—Does Final Draft work on Chromebook?
Here's a 5-minute video quickly covering screenwriting software on Chromebooks:

Video by Thomas Midena via YouTube—Does Final Draft Work on Chromebook?
Scrivener has many features like revision tracking, word counts, and exporting into multiple formats. Its biggest drawback is the price tag: $40 (US) for the cheapest version. If budget isn't an issue, then this software might just be what you're looking for on your Chromebook.
Celtx Studio has many features similar to Final Draft. Celtx also has revision tracking which is a really essential feature so that you can see all of the changes you make over time. Celtx lacks some of the more advanced features that Final Draft offers like exporting to PDF in different formats, maintaining script formating when copying and pasting, and auto-fill predictive text.
Final Draft is still the best software for screenwriting, but there are some decent options for writing your screenplays on Chromebook.
Are Final Draft Documents Accessible on Chromebook or Android Devices?
Are Final Draft documents accessible on Chromebook or android devices (in an efficient way at least)?
The short answer is, "No." Final Draft documents are not easily accessible on Chromebook or android devices. Final Draft documents can be reformatted (or copied and pasted) to be accessible on Chromebooks but that takes a few extra steps and can alter the clean screenwriting format you want for your screenplay (which may defeat the purpose of using Final Draft).
However, you may be able to use the Crossover Chrome application to access Final Draft documents on your Chromebook.
The downside is the additional cost and software to manage. If you already own a Chromebook and don't mind the extra cost (at least while you experiment with this possibility), the Crossover app might be your best option.
Conclusion: Does Final Draft Work on Chromebook?
Final Draft may not be readily available on Chromebook but there are still some very good alternatives for the clever screenwriter. The alternatives range from cheap to more expensive—and some require additional software—but at least there are options.
Ultimately, for the serious screenwriter, I definitely recommend that you eventually upgrade to a Final-Draft compatible computer. I use the HP VH240a 23.8 inch Full HD 1080 desktop computer. It's inexpensive for a computer and does everything I need for my writing.
I hope this article answered every question about Chromebooks and Final Draft for you.

Gruden Envisions Amari Cooper as 'focal Point' of Raiders Offense
By Scott Bair	• Published February 28, 2018 • Updated on March 19, 2018 at 3:28 pm
INDIANAPOLIS – Amari Cooper didn't have a great 2017 season. The Raiders receiver posted career lows in catches and yards in his third NFL season, nearly half of what he had the year before.
Cooper had 680 yards, 30 percent of which came from one game against Kansas City. He posted less than 10 yards five times, and only reached triple digits twice.
That's a big step down after consecutive Pro Bowl seasons exceeding 1,000 yards. Cooper dealt with concussion-like symptoms and a significant ankle sprain down the stretch, but his slow start – Cooper had just 172 yards and a touchdown in his first five games -- happened when healthy.
New Raiders head coach Jon Gruden doesn't view that as cause for alarm. Just the opposite, in fact. He believes this premier talent will return to form in his offense.

"He'll be the focal point of our offense," Gruden said Wednesday at the NFL Scouting Combine. "I hope he's listening here today. I'm looking forward to joining up with Amari Cooper. He has tremendous quickness. He's smart, versatile and he's a gamer. He likes the bright lights, and he'll be the headliner in our offense."
Cooper will lead a receiver corps that could use some help. Micahel Crabtree is slated as the No. 2, though it's possible, if not likely, the Raiders ask him to restructure a contract with two years remaining and $7.5 million in salary and bonuses for 2018. None of that money is guaranteed.
Crabtree will be back next season, The Athletic reported Tuesday night, and also must return to old form after a down year and quarrels with Jack Del Rio's now jettisoned staff and members of the offense.
"He's on the team," Gruden said. "I'd love to coach all these guys. That's a big reason I was excited to get here. We'll let you know. We'll keep you updated as we gain more information. I'm going to get a chance to meet with (Crabtree's) agent. April 9 I'm officially allowed to talk to these guys."
Gruden has met briefly with Crabtree since taking over as Raiders head coach.
He must also decide whether to keep Seth Roberts as the No. 3 receiver, or find an upgrade in free agency or the draft.

Woman's Disappearance in Jamaica Is a Cautionary Tale for Vacationers
By SUSAN SPANO
TIMES TRAVEL WRITER
It's been more than a year since Claudia Kirschhoch, a travel guidebook editor from New York, was last seen as she walked along the beach in Negril, on the west coast of Jamaica.
I have not forgotten her, and I hope all women travelers will keep her in their hearts and minds too.
Claudia, who was 29 when she disappeared on May 27, 2000, was part of a group of travel writers and editors on a trip to Cuba.
Three days earlier, on a stop in Jamaica, the group had learned it could not get visas to Cuba and that flights to the U.S. were full for the next few days. The travelers were offered a stay until the next available flight at a Jamaican resort owned by Sandals, the company that had sponsored the derailed Cuba junket.
Together with Club Med, Sandals pioneered the concept of all-inclusive resorts, where vacationers pay one price, in advance, for accommodations, meals and entertainment, just as one does on a cruise ship. The northern and western coasts of Jamaica are home to 10 all-inclusive Sandals resorts and others with such provocative names as Couples and Hedonism. Nearly half of all visitors stay at such places, according to the Jamaica Tourist Board.
On a lark, my mother and I went to an all-inclusive place called the Plantation Inn (now another Sandals) near the north coast town of Ocho Rios about four years ago. But we weren't impressed by the all-inclusive resort idea. Even though such places cater to your every whim, they offer almost no incentive to venture outside the security gates except on an organized tour. This breeds distance between tourists and locals, which some may haplessly try to bridge.
Alas, the resorts need their security gates. In Jamaica, an island nation of 2.6 million where the average income is $3,350, the per capita murder rate is one of the highest in the world, according to Amnesty International.
The resorts have guards on their beaches, said John Lynch, a vice president of Sandals. Police foot patrols were added in resort areas about five years ago, said James Forbes, deputy superintendent of the Jamaica police. "It's the same as putting the lock on the door to your house," Forbes said.
I wonder how much of this Claudia Kirschhoch knew when she took a room at the Sandals Beaches resort in Negril. She had traveled for her employer, Frommer's Travel Guides, only twice, once to Seattle and once to Florida. Even if she had prepared for the third junket, she would have been preparing for Cuba. Her layover at Negril was unplanned.
When she didn't return to the U.S. on June 1 as expected, authorities found her clothing, passport and wallet in her room but no trace of her.
"Claudia would have hated an all-inclusive resort," her father, Fred Kirschhoch of Morristown, N.J., told me in a recent phone interview. "She would have wanted to get outside."
He and his wife, Mary Ann, have established a Web site and toll-free phone number to help find her. Through them, people who were at the resort when Claudia was there have contacted her father to report that they saw her watching a New York Knicks game at the bar and chatting with the friendly young bartender. In interviews and polygraph tests administered by the FBI (which was called on by Jamaican police to assist) late last summer, the bartender said he took her to a Negril reggae club on May 26.
The bartender is not a suspect in Claudia's disappearance, Jamaican police said. "There is no evidence that he had any contact with her thereafter," deputy superintendent Forbes said.
Claudia's parents have distributed posters and fliers in Jamaica announcing the $50,000 reward that has been offered by Sandals, Frommer's and the Kirschhochs for information on Claudia's disappearance. Police continue to check out Claudia sightings around the island. Fred Kirschhoch thinks she would have contacted him if she were still alive. "We really feel, and have heard from people who've contacted us, that Claudia was given a drug by someone, maybe put in a drink, and that she died," he said.
Say Pickersgill, director of the Jamaica Tourist Board, said that crime against visitors is minimal and that resort areas in the north and west are "very safe." There have been 603 slayings in Jamaica since the beginning of the year, only three of which involved tourists, according to the police. "But young women must be sensitive," Pickersgill said. "Otherwise they just might find the one person who would lead them astray."
Claudia's father puts it more strongly: "It's really unhealthy for women to travel alone on and off the resorts in Jamaica."
U.S. Consul General Don Wells agrees with Pickersgill about the relative safety of the main tourist areas. Wells said he knew of only two deaths of Americans in Jamaica in the past year, both accidental.
Michael Spring, publisher of Frommer's Travel Guides, said that new and reissued guidebooks to Jamaica and the Caribbean would include updated security alerts and information on Claudia's disappearance.
But it isn't always easy for a woman to gauge what's safe and what's risky, particularly on vacation. Susan Riseling, chief of police at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, said that when women go on vacation, they tend to say, "The heck with it." They eat desserts. They imbibe. Maybe they go clubbing with friendly bartenders. "So many do it with no problem," she said. "But I fall back on the idea of making conscientious choices instead of letting things develop circumstantially."
If Claudia is dead, as her father suspects, I hope she rests in peace somewhere on that troubled, beautiful blue island.
