   1. A weak faint light.

   Only to shine, yet scarce to contribute
   Each orb a glimpse of light, convey’d so far
   Down to this habitable, which returns
   Light back to them. John Milton, Par. Lost.

   My pride struck out new spangles of her own. Dryden.

   3. Transitory lustre.

   If I, celestial sire, in aught
   Have serv’d thy will, or gratified thy thought,

   4. Short fleeting enjoyment.

   If, while this weary’d flesh draws fleeting breath,
   Not satisfy’d with life, afraid of death,
   If hap’ly be thy will that I should know
   Glimpse of delight, or pause from anxious woe;
   From now, from instant now, great sire, dispel
   The clouds that press my soul. Matthew Prior.

   O friends! I hear the tread of nimble feet
   Hasting this way, and now by glimpse discern
   Ithuriel, and Zephon, through the shade. John Milton, Par. Lost.

1. GLIMPSE

   GLIMPSE is a text indexing and retrieval software program originally developed at the University of Arizona by Udi Manber, Sun Wu, and Burra Gopal. A web server version called WebGlimpse is now being maintained under a pay per line licence. Neither project could be considered open source although there are some similarities. GLIMPSE stands for GLobal IMPlicit SEarch. While many text indexing schemes create quite large indexes, a GLIMPSE-created index is only 2-4% of the size of the original text. GLIMPSE uses and takes a great deal of inspiration from Agrep, which was also developed at the University of Arizona, but GLIMPSE uses a high level index whereas Agrep parses all the text each time. The basic algorithm is similar to other text indexing and retrieval engines, except that the text records in the index are huge, consisting of multiple files each. This index is searched using a boolean matching algorithm like most other text indexing and retrieval engines. After one or more of these large text records is matched, Agrep is used to actually scan for the exact text desired. While this is slower than traditional totally indexed approaches, the advantage of the smaller index is seen to be advantageous to the individual user. This approach would not work particularly well across websites, but it would work reasonably well for a single site, or a single workstation. In addition, the smaller index can be created more quickly than a full index.

   My heart in the East But the rest of me far in the West— How can I savor this life, even taste what I eat? How, in the bonds of the Moor, Zion chained to the Cross, Can I do what I’ve vowed to and must? Gladly I’d leave All the best of grand Spain For one glimpse of the ruined Shrine’s dust.

4. Wang Feng:

   >HONG KONG, Jan 13 (Reuters) - Living under Chinas stringent COVID-19 restrictions for the past three years had caused Zhang Qi enough stress and uncertainty to consider not having babies in the country.When China abruptly dismantled its zero COVID regime last month to let the virus spread freely, the balance tilted to a definite No, the Shanghai-based e-commerce executive said.Stories about mothers and babies not being able to see doctors as medical facilities were overwhelmed by COVID infections were the final straw for Zhang.I heard that giving birth at a public hospital is just horrific. I really wouldn’t consider having a baby, the 31-year-old said.A glimpse of the scars caused by the pandemic to Chinas already bleak demographic outlook may come to light when it reports its official 2022 population data on Jan. 17.Some demographers expect Chinas population in 2022 to post its first drop since the Great Famine in 1961, a profound shift with far-reaching implications for the global economy and world order.New births for 2022 are set to fall to record lows, dropping below 10 million from last years 10.6 million babies - which were already 11.5% lower than in 2020.With this historical turn, China has entered a long and irreversible process of population decline, the first time in China and the worlds history.
