'Vampires in the Lemon Grove'
By KAREN RUSSELL
Reviewed by JOY WILLIAMS
A grim, stupendous magic is at work in the stories in Karen Russell's "Vampires in the Lemon Grove."
An API for a particular language is paired with a functional counterpart, a library containing snippets of code in that language which perform the tasks in question. These can be integral parts of languages, paid and licensed add-ons, or some combination of public source and free-but-copyrighted code.
Then there is an instruction manual in plain, albeit technical English. It includes descriptions of what each snippet does, together with a command (known as a function call) that, if inserted into a program's source code, acts as a shortcut to the relevant section of the library. Any snippet in the library could be written from scratch—but this takes time and, crucially, fails to take advantage of the extensive testing the existing code in the library has been subject to. It is easier, and safer, simply to bung a reference to the required function into the newly created program.
Google Books users currently can view long previews of another two million books that are in copyright and in print, thanks to agreements between Google and tens of thousands of publishers that were separate from the legal settlement. Millions more books that are in copyright but out of print are currently available in Google Books in a shorter "snippet view." Had the settlement been approved, users would have been able to see longer previews and potentially buy those books. Above, Google's headquarters in Mountain View, Calif.
Scott’s 1860 phonautogram was made 17 years before Edison received a patent for the phonograph and 28 years before an Edison associate captured a snippet of a Handel oratorio on a wax cylinder, a recording that until now was widely regarded by experts as the oldest that could be played back.

Fourie defends Japan's quality SPORT24
“I
am determined to do the bold things it will take to sort out public
services, too. Too often our schools aren't up to scratch, our hospitals
aren't always clean enough and our police don't catch criminals.
Brilliant and committed people work in public services - but somehow the
system stops them doing their job. So we'll change it.”
Japanese pitcher was scratched due to ‘shoulder fatigue’

up to par
Also, up to scratch or snuff or speed or the mark. Satisfactory, up to a given standard, as in She didn't feel up to par today so she stayed home, or I'm sure he'll come up to scratch when the time comes, or She's up to snuff again. Nearly all the versions of this idiom come from sports, par from golf, scratch and mark from boxing (after being knocked down a fighter had eight seconds to make his way to a mark scratched in the center of the ring), and speed from racing. However, the allusion in the variant with snuff, which dates from the early 1800s, has been lost.

David Cameron, our Prime Minister, said in his New Year message:
Rowan Oak stands in a glade near the centre of Oxford, Mississippi. Faded signs and keen volunteers direct visitors round the property in which the writer William Faulkner lived for 32 years. But Rowan Oak needs more spending. Securing sufficient funds to keep historic sites up to scratch is tricky across the South and when federal money runs out, ingenuity is called for http://econ.st/1uQNr5O
