THE PAPER A film review by Ralph Benner Copyright 1996 Ralph Benner
I don't believe but a minute of Ron Howard's THE PAPER. It's typical Howard -- showing his general competence as a storyteller and once more showing his insistence on making movies for the boobgoisie. If Howard had an adult movie maker's vision and audacity, THE PAPER would be about what's eating away at our media faster than an unchecked cancer -- the frightening Power PC speed of tabloiditis. But Howard's too pedestrian, too ready to avoid the very issues this and some of his other movies bring up and instead goes in for goofy fantasies: in his puerile confusion about the real condition of journalism, he's dispensing retrograde honor to a profession that lost its way -- way long ago. Giving benefit of doubt he's even aware there's a very powerful danger in what's happening in our press, the question may be -- Is Howard afraid of tackling it? He drags everything down to a suburban ha-ha teenage level; like James Brooks in BROADCAST NEWS, he codifies sitcom behavior. When one half of the audience for THE PAPER is listening to the other half laugh at scenes that don't seem to be very funny, it's like edited-in canned audience responses used by TV comdies to cover up their emptiness.
The news business has become the nation's favorite whipping boy -- as well as whipper -- by the very nature of its pervasiveness. It's our most publicly accessible, bottomless pit -- the ultimate voracious consumer. If we attack it for its excessive abuse and callous intrusion, we must also remember that it's often asked to be or condoned as the national intruder -- our communal "private eye." The current recklessness of media is the rage of disseminating fractured information: it's "Gotcha!" before the facts. All of us have the same conflicting feelings about the press, and especially TV news. As a nation reeling in a case of the hates over just about everything and probably hating the press more than anything else, we paradoxically "love" it because it makes complex issues simplistic and debase. We don't have to think if headlines and TV news shows scream out allegations of wrongdoings, cover-ups, scandals; the preponderance of gossip, rumor, innuendo, grudges make it seem that whoever is alleged to have committed a crime or violation is guilty first, innocent -- if that even matters nowadays -- later. (Like the apparent joy in branding the First Lady guilty of phantom crimes.) We love being glued to the box during a crisis or scandal or tragedy, absorbed by its immediacy, how we're "right there," as we were during the Persian Gulf War, or the scorching of the Waco cult compound, or the Oklahoma bombing. Our adrenaline is really pumping -- and particularly true in a live interview. Those of us who saw the original broadcast-exchange between Dan Rather and George Bush in 1988, or watched the Senate Confirmation Hearings of Clarence Thomas, felt a heightened sense of response, of danger, because we didn't know what direction the interview or hearings would take. (It is this element of risk, of the unknown, of intoxicating provocation that no other news medium can match. Radio is close, but it can't provide truth-or-lie-or-demeanor-telling properties the way the camera usually can.) What we hate about news isn't merely our suspicions about those in the business -- that "Gotcha!" is replacing hard news and real facts -- or our fears concerning our growing voyeuristic cravings for the sensational, as in the Thomas-Anita Hill, Gennifer Flowers, Magic Johnson, Michael Jackson, Tanya Harding cases, it's also our guilt in allowing ourselves to be so damned consumed by the titillating drama of news. Like we were during the trial of William Kennedy Smith vs. "I'm not a blue blob," or the Bobbitt thing, or the on-going mockery of justice of the O.J. SImpson fiasco.
Many of us feel guilty when we don't watch the unfolding of a news "event" -- afraid that we're going to miss something. Until very recently, some of us even felt guilt about missing a nightly newscast or two. It's the need to get it now and not later, in a newspaper, because by the time we read about something in the morning edition, the box has already updated that something; it's a matter of instant discretion -- the zapper's power -- because the growth of TV news has permitted choice; it's also subjective, aesthetic and cosmetic -- selectively allowing specific TV anchors or reporters or commentators into our homes because they appeal to us. Some women fantasize about suave Peter Jennings; outdoorsy males respond to Tom Brokaw's Lands End quality; college-age fattie bigots worship Rush; technocrats mainline with CSPAN. We're picky about newspapers and magazines and their writers too, but we can better control whatever our responses; we don't have to fight sensory overload. Yet it is the very addictive nature of the "overload" that compels us and the programmers and editors onward and thereby permitting a proliferation of TV tabloids, ideological talk shows, informercials, a rush of speculation in newspapers and, the latest kick, online forums. News has become stimulation, visceral, but without a filter of veracity. Is it any wonder that we've become a nation of instant paranoids, panicked not on the basis of facts but over rumors and gossip packaged as factoids? Murderess Susan Smith claimed a black man kidnapped her two children and Newtie invects implicit racism as election ploy. CNBC's effete flabbermouths are probably more responsible for any week's stock market dive than the Fed and actual investors. Is it exaggeration to say news has become dangerous to our national health? If dangerous now, what will we call it when the 500 channel nightmare arrives? To keep those channels profitable, there will be a new crisis or scandal manufactured every hour.
How often have we heard the media defend themselves over their moral infractions and insensitivity and intrusions by saying that they're constitutionally guaranteed freedom to "report"? Had Ron Howard had given us a newspaper that once had a tradition of solid reporting, of respectability, and had to resort to using tabloid tricks to bring in the revenues, there might have been something beyond fantasy, something hopeful, in the way THE PAPER climaxes, but more than that he might have looked into the future: he might have guessed that soon the Supreme Court will re-address the issue of the freedom of the press. Tthe Court is going to go after total disregard of the facts in reportage; it will recognize that, some years back, when decreeing that public figures are fair game, it set into motion a freedom of irresponsibility. That's why we can get Xmas time sex scandals concocted by misogynists like David Brock; that's why there's never an apology from the press over such stories that can not be proved, only alleged. That's why we're getting Gutter Encounters of the Weird Kind about Whitewater: Rush on TV repeating groundless rumors that Vince Foster was murdered in a "safe house" rented by Hillary Rodham Clinton.  Scarier still is that perople are willing to accept fabrication over fact, as Paula Jones' money hunger confirms.  Can we pinpoint a reason why? I think so: When sleepyhead Ronnie was elected in 1980, one of the first demolition jobs he instructed his henchmen to perform was on the FCC's "Fairness Doctrine." Basically, this guideline demanded, with TV in particular, equal time for opposing sides on issues. Ronnie didn't like that because it prevented his Morning in America propaganda from being promulgated as gospel. After his re-election, he managed to get the equality mandates downgraded to voluntary and national and local public affairs programs shifted the emphasis of fairness to screaming contentiousness: the exchange of views became ever less civilized and ever more Buchanan-loaded and Rushy. One notes with deep regret that though there are minimal efforts to maintain a balance of opinion, the scales have tipped to hypertensive demagoguery. The demise of the fairness doctrine also meant the death of hundreds of locally-produced public affairs shows, which at one time served the community well in that large numbers of the citizenry got on TV. What's left of these kinds of programs is now exclusively the domain of the hacks of local newspapers who write unreadable columns and send out correspondence written on notes with their pictures plastered on them, and the "nobodies" have moved to cable access channels where, to say the least, production values and sometimes transmissions are poor and viewership small. Something else happened as a result of the lack of enforcement of the fairness doctrine: a deluge of TV tabloid exposes that don't even bother to attempt to explain the absence of the "other side"; we're getting more and more on the so-called prestige newscasts and magazine shows a virulent form of vigilante journalism -- indicting and convicting people on air for only alleged crimes, especially child abuse crimes, that, with closer inspection, never happened. (It was TV that caused California to spend over $120 million to presecute without conviction the McMartin Pre-School case.) We get televised show trials that pretend to be "fair," but are monuments to horrible exploitation and very likely unconstitutionally censored. I'm thinking specifically about the rape trial of William Kennedy Smith.
Acknowledging that only two out of 250,000,000 really know what happened, the trial was, in the final analysis, a mockery of equal justice. CNN and other broadcasters decided that not only would they cover Patricia Bowman's face with the infamous "blue blob," but would do as much as they could to keep her name from being revealed. Spokesmen for the networks said that they were honoring so-called "shield laws," which in effect are supposed to be civilized protections of privacy for alleged rape victims. I even heard a few say that they were forced by Florida law to protect Bowman's identity. It didn't matter that the very shield law they used to defend their actions was in fact declared unconstitutional, and therefore, during the trial, not law. It gets worse: the media did not extend to the defendant the same level of privacy. As a member of the Kennedy Clan, he became a "public figure" who could be freely smeared without fear of litigation. The press, at the conniving behest of a Betty Anderson-Harrington, whose endless string of men, parties, drug-taking, abortions, mental history were community knowledge, made a private man a figure of obscene public abuse. Watching as much of the trial as was televised, I'd have voted for acquittal simply because of Bowman's performance.  But there's every reason to believe that Bowman wanted not only the "shield" protection but also the show trial; it would give her the opportunity to audition for the her own story: PALM BEACH PLACE. Her first breakdown was moving, and the second almost as touching, but by the third cue-prompt, there was a surprising actor's polish in her voice -- even the sniffles were too grand. (I kept wanting to blow my nose.) Then she showed a fatally clumsy intellectual side -- having answered "I don't know or remember" 162 times. She wasn't helped when the prosecution's star witness admitted to taking $40,000 from "A Current Affair" and falsified under oath as to when she first met the plaintiff, and it didn't help Bowman much either that her heavy drinking and popping of muscle relaxants the evening of the alleged crime were disclosed. Booze and relaxants -- legal kicks for the trust fund set. Did the media pay much attention this, or to the witness for the prosecution's repeated lies, or to the lack of physical evidence of any forceful assault, or the sheer mind-boggling fact that during the time of the alleged rape, nine people were sleeping in the Kennedy compound, which has no air conditioning? No, they went on their merry way with the protective blobs and rumors that Bowman, having lost the trial, would likely file a civil suit for unspecified damages. She didn't; and one look at her PrimeTime and Larry King appearances tells us why.
The popular, sometimes accurate perception that most if not all news reporters are hard-boiled or bloodthirsty -- or, in some cases are as corrupt as the corrupters they report on -- probably got started back with the late 19th century London newspaper wars, many of them centering on Jack the Ripper, and the feeling was reinforced during the American yellow journalism wars engaged in by William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer.  In no small way, Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur's THE FRONT PAGE, a play that has been steadily performed since it first opened back in 1928 and has been filmed at least four times, has done its share to perpetuate the perceptions by glorifying them in a macho reverie. The almost-validating bite of their play is that journalism wouldn't be fair without some lowdown hanky panky. Movie makers in recent years haven't given the press a clean bill of health either: ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN, which on the surface looks like a salute to journalism, eventually taxes a fair-minded audience's receptiveness by not only using our national hatred of Nixon but also by using the mysterious "Deep Throat" as method and news source -- subterfuge that, in retrospect, fails to earn an acquittal: doesn't the accused have the right to face his accuser? NETWORK, the bitchkrieg that admonishes TV-induced paranoia that's a 1976 look into our present; ABSENCE OF MALICE, ridiculing a reporter's naivete; THE YEAR OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY," a slam against a reporter's desire to make a name for himself; UNDER FIRE, depicting the suicidet of reporters when they take sides in political battles; and THE PAPER dealing with tabloid economics vs. twenty four hour suppression of facts. Naturally these films aren't acceptable to most responsible journalists -- they mistakenly think they're above the moral muddle, like Helen Thomas, who one day suggests Hillary should hold a news conference to explain Whitewater and then turn around and publicly attack the first lady on CSPAN for doing what she suggested.
At the height of Joseph McCarthy's rampage against supposed American Communists in the 50s, the climate in newspaper and radio journalism -- TV not having quite come into its own, although it played the key national part in McCarthy's demise -- was so rotted and feverish with paranoia that lives were daily sacrifices to the vicious killing machines of yellow headlines. Only when it became clear that McCarthy could be broken by the soft-spoken rebukes of rational voices did the press then turn on him, vilifying him for exactly what they so freely practiced without fear of retribution. Arguably the nation absolved the press of its role in whipping up a frenzied battle over the semantics of political freedom because it shared in the guilt. Slanted journalism, according to the ultra-conservatives, hit an apex during the Vietnam War -- especially television's coverage of it. No war before and probably no war after -- as proved by the Persian Gulf episode -- has been more documented by the lie-detecting camera; the daily bloodletting images of the Michael J. Arlen-termed "Living Room War," shown on ABC, NBC and CBS, betrayed the weekly General William Westmoreland pep rallies that promised victory. The Agnew speeches, jerked off by shock troopers Patrick Buchanan, and William Safire, were designed to counter the rising revulsion and attack those, mostly in the press who were against the war, as "nattering nabobs of negativity," "pampered prodigies of the radical liberals," and all the verbal attacks were peppered with codes like "pusillanimous," "sniveling," "eunuchs," "effete soobs." After the assassinations of John and Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr., and after the fascist Chicago Democratic Convention, "The Time of Illusion" -- the title of Jonathan Schell's collection of political pieces originally written for The New Yorker -- came to a halt for most press outlets. (Only temporarily: softball reporting got retrofitted for Reagan, and would again go soft during the actual bombing duration of Bush's tantrum against Saddam.) The gulf between country right or wrong and a national conscience would only enlarge when Nixon's Watergate adventure destroyed him. But audiences, at least at this writing, may not have evolved as much as the technologies of TV communications: voters may not fail to recognize a scoundrel, but that doesn't mean they won't vote for one: the Republican'ts recently elected a prevaricating, deadbeat daddy as House Majority Leader who once served his former wife divorce paper while she was in the throes of a serious battle with cancer.
Actors as anchors, editors or reporters aren't exactly caricatures, or impersonations; they're more like examples of the fear of being hip. You almost hear the actors anxiously half-giggling, "Are we getting it right?" Jane Fonda couldn't get in right in THE CHINA SYNDROME. Neither Sigourney Weaver in EYEWITNESS nor Christine Lahti in JUST BETWEEN FRIENDS got it right. Sally Field was a wipeout in ABSENCE OF MALICE and Joanna Cassidy failed to get "radiospeak" down pat in UNDER FIRE. Mel Gibson had the romantic fantasy but hardly the authority of a foreign correspondent in THE YEAR OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY and Sam Waterston, looking a little like D. H. Lawrence, was a Yale poseur as Pulitzer Prize winning Sydney Schanberg in THE KILLING FIELDS.
With receding hairline and toughened face, Glenn Close could play a bean-counting managing editor, ala Katherine Graham, but not as Ron Howard directs her in THE PAPER, and he allowed Michael Keaton to be too scatterbrained a city editor to have the kind of righteous punch aimed for. He'd make it as an editor for something as low as the New York Sun but it's an insult that he'd be considered for anything more than a janitorial position for a competing paper like the New York Sentinel, which surrogates as the N.Y. Times. Only when Robert Duvall, as the Sun's editor, flays into his own editorial pages filled with "columnists, guests columnists and celebrity columnists," is there a bit of reality. (It's the only time the silent half of the audience responded -- by cheering.) Maybe it's me; I just can't seem to accept actors playing overly-familiar faces or professions. The blurring of celebrity tends to discount whatever value is left of the real professional journalist. This happened to Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward when Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford play them, respectively, in the moldy, chiaroscuristic ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN. Somehow the movie fakery intensifies the often fake seriousness and righteousness of the business of news. Perhaps this is why audiences felt and still feel a charge from Peter Finch's Howard Beale in the bombastic NETWORK, which earns masterpiece status compared to the snoozing BROADCAST NEWS and the juvenile PAPER. Finch's rantings were manifestly rigged, and the audience knew it, but the rigging was also premonitory and the audience felt it. (Pauline Kael's most grievous error of perception is her review of the movie, entitled "Hot Air.") Though Finch, William Holden and Faye Dunaway weren't required to be anything other than Paddy Chayefsky's conniptions about what the box was -- in fact, is -- turning all of us into, they did it with such frenzied passion that the warnings, particularly those expressed by Holden about the dangers of many of us turning into Dunaway's Diana, have real resonance; we HAVE become little Diana horrors. These actors have a rip-roaring good time (and so does the audience) with dialogue actors kill for. What glorious diarrhea of the hates! Despite a few passable one-liners, William Hurt in BROADCAST NEWS seems frustrated by a lack of words -- he's constipated. He'd be right at home in THE PAPER, in which the only bits of minimal interest take place in the men's room.
Andy Rooney once described BROADCAST NEWS as "one of the best movies I've ever seen," and, if that's not enough of a wound, inflicted this: "As a writer, sitting there watching the movie, I was exultant, to the point of tears, with (James Brooks') success in converting what was in his head to paper and then to film...A movie director doesn't really want good writing -- just a sheaf of papers that provide some notes and an outline to keep in mind where to set up the cameras and what to tell the actors to do...The best writers have, with a lot of exceptions which I won't stop to note, never written for television or motion pictures. This is partly because good writers are nervous about being associated with what usually are considered to be second-class art forms, but also because good writers don't know how to write for television or the movies, and they're reluctant to expose their ignorance of something they don't respect much, anyway." No reluctance on Rooney's part to expose his. And clearly, in THE PAPER, in spite of the clever ads for Compaq, Multi-Sync monitors and QuarkXPress, Howard isn't afraid to reveal his, either. The one inescapable fact we can derive from the media's triumph of hype over fact, shamelessness over decency is that ignorance is indeed bliss. "Gotcha!" without responsibility, without accountability, is destroying what moral value is left in journalism.

Yoooooooooooocooooooo!!! This is Ivan :P Hey don't look at me like that, I'm also a cool guy ok...?!
It's coding... lel, gotta run (OoOoOoOf)
..
..
..
... then there's the end of this course. I like this class, all my classmates and the helpful teachers. I am really gonna miss everyone here ;( Thank you for Mr. Gerber and Ms. Fritz for helping and teaching me when I don't know what to do~ I will seeya :)
Hey, did you see that "c" in the world "Yoooo..." ? It's not a typo, it's designed to test your eyesight :D


Run ivycc --deputy on a C file in place of gcc. (In many cases, this is as simple as changing CC in your makefile.) You will probably see a number of type errors, beginning with a series of warnings that suggest annotations. You can fix these errors by inserting annotations listed below. Hairier parts of the code can be skipped using the "trusted" annotations below. Once your file compiles, you'll need to use deputy for the linker as well so that Deputy can link in its (small) runtime library.
Now run and test your program. You will probably see some run-time errors due to insufficient or incorrect annotations. Fix these errors and you're good to go!
Pointer annotations are placed after the * in the pointer type. Array annotations are placed immediately before the name of the array, using parentheses. For example, the COUNT(42) annotation can be placed as follows:
The basic Deputy bounds annotations are given in the following table. The type checker assumes that every pointer and array in the program is annotated with one of these annotations. Deputy will provide a suitable default for each unannotated pointer.
| BOUND(b, e) BND(b, e) |
The pointer is either null or it points to an array of objects of the base type with bounds given by the local expressions b and e. This pointer must be aligned with respect to both b and e. The keyword __this refers to the variable or expression to which this type is attached. To use automatic bounds, specify __auto in place of b and/or e. |
| COUNT(n) CT(n) | The pointer is either null or it points to an array of n objects of the base type. Equivalent to BOUND(__this, __this + n). This annotation is the default for arrays with declared size n. |
| SAFE | The pointer is either null or it bounds to a single object of the base type. Equivalent to COUNT(1) and BOUND(__this, __this + 1). This annotation is the default for global variables, structure fields, and function arguments and return values. |
| SNT | This pointer is used only for comparison and never for dereference. Mostly equivalent to COUNT(0) and BOUND(__this, __this), but currently carries an extra attribute that allows it to be incremented and decremented freely. |
| SEQ | A shorthand for BOUND(__auto, __auto). Deputy will insert automatic bounds variables for both bounds. Note that this annotation must be used with care on any externally-visible data! This annotation is the default for local variables. |
| FSEQ | A shorthand for BOUND(__this, __auto). Deputy will insert an automatic bounds variable for the upper bound, and the lower bound is assumed to be the pointer itself. As with SEQ, this annotation must be used with care on any externally-visible data! |
You may also indicate whether a pointer is non-null with the following annotations:
| NONNULL | Indicates that a pointer must be non-null. |
| OPT | Indicates that a pointer may be null. This annotation is the default on all pointers. |
In addition to the bounds annotations provided above, you may also indicate that a pointer or array is null-terminated by using one of the following annotations:
| NT | Indicates that the upper bound of the pointer (as given by BOUND or one of its relatives) is the beginning of a null-terminated sequence of elements. |
| NTS | A shorthand for NT COUNT(0)--think "null-terminated string". This annotation is often used for char * pointers that represent null-terminated strings. Note that because it includes a COUNT annotation, it is provided in place of (rather than in addition to) the bounds annotations in the previous section. |
There are two operations that allow you to convert between null-terminated and regular pointers:
| NTDROP(e) | Converts a null-terminated pointer e with type NT BOUND(b, e) into a standard pointer with bounds BOUND(b, e). Because the null terminator lies outside of the specified bounds, this operation is safe; however, the null element (and any other elements outside the specified bounds) may no longer be accessible. |
| NTEXPAND(e) | Expands the upper bound of e up to the null element. For example, if e has type NT COUNT(0) but points to a string with 5 characters (plus a null character), then NTEXPAND(e) will have type NT COUNT(5). This operation is often used immediately before an NTDROP in order to preserve access to all elements except for the null terminator itself. |
Unions are annotated by indicating when each field is active. For example:
Note that the annotation is placed after the name of each field, not on the type of each field. The annotation is defined as follows:
| WHEN(e) | Indicates that the associated union field is selected when the local expression e evaluates to a non-zero value. The expression e is local with respect to the union itself, so it can refer to other names at the same level as the union. At most one field may be selected at any given time. |
Deputy provides annotations that identify several common C functions that require special treatment. These annotations are placed on the function type by writing them before the name of the function, in parentheses. For example:
void * (DALLOC(sz) malloc)(size_t sz);
These annotations are as follows:
| DALLOC(e) | This annotation indicates a function that acts as an allocator. The expression e indicates the size of the allocated block (in bytes) in terms of the function's formal parameters. The type of the allocation is determined by the pointer to which the result of this call is assigned, and the size is used to check (or set, in the case of automatic bounds) the bounds of the resulting pointer. |
| DFREE(p) | This annotation indicates a function that frees memory. The argument p is the name of the formal parameter for the pointer being freed. |
| DREALLOC(p, e) | This annotation indicates a function that acts as a reallocator; the arguments p and e function as specified in the previous two annotations. Note that newly-allocated portions of the array are not automatically zeroed by Deputy. |
|
DMEMCPY(x, y, z) DMEMSET(x, y, z) DMEMCMP(x, y, z) |
These annotations specify that the function behaves like memcpy, memset, or memcmp. The three arguments x, y, and z are meant to indicate the indices of the arguments that behave like the corresponding arguments for the original function; however, they are ignored by the current implementation. When Deputy sees a call to a function with one of these annotations, it verifies the bounds of the pointers passed to these functions, and when data is being written, it verifies that the data written has the correct type. In the case of memset, we allow arrays containing pointers to be initialized to zero (assuming, of course, that those pointers are not non-null). |
Deputy allows the user to trust code in cases where Deputy annotations cannot easily be provided. There are several ways to indicate trusted code:
First, you may specify trusted blocks of code. If you place TRUSTEDBLOCK after the opening brace of a block, Deputy will not attempt to check any code contained therein. If this block reads variables with automatic bounds, Deputy will adjust the code as necessary to allow the read to occur. However, writes to variables with automatic bounds are not allowed.
Second, you may use the TRUSTED annotation, which can appear in three places:
For convenience, you can use the macro TC(e) to convert a pointer expression e to a trusted version of the same pointer. This macro is very useful for performing trusted casts from one pointer type to another.


Graeme Souness lifts lid on Jose Mourinho 'anger' at Man Utd after taking Tottenham job
Jose Mourinho has secured a return to management at Tottenham after spending time as a Sky Sports pundit since leaving Manchester United
by Liam Prenderville, http://www.facebook.com/mirrorfootballGraeme Souness believes Jose Mourinho's anger at his Manchester United exit will spark him into life at Tottenham .
Mourinho has secured a return to management with Spurs, 11 months after he was sacked by United.
He has been confirmed as Mauricio Pochettino's replacement, agreeing a three-and-a-half year deal in north London.
Since leaving United, the Portuguese boss has been working as a pundit for Sky Sports alongside Souness.
And the Scot has opened up on the mindset of Mourinho, having got to know him during his time in the studio.

“Will they win the league this year? No. But they will be far more difficult to play against.
“He talks common sense at that is basically what football is about. Off-camera he is jovially funny, he is engaging, extremely knowledgeable and desperate to get back into football.
"He will know where he could have done better and decisions he made he wishes he hadn’t made. Spurs will reap the benefit of that big time.”
Tottenham return to action in the Premier League against West Ham this weekend.
Spurs sit 14th after a disappointing start to the season but could rise as high as fifth if results go their way.
On his appointment, Mourinho said: "I am excited to be joining a club with such a great heritage and such passionate supporters.
"The quality in both the squad and the academy excites me. Working with these players is what has attracted me."

A class should have only one reason to change
Robert C. Martin
Imagine you have a class Employee like this:
public class Employee {
private Date dateOfJoining;
// & other attributes
// getters & setters for attributes
public boolean isPromotionDue() {
// Code to determine promotion
}
public void calculateIncomeTax() {
// Code to calculate tax
}
}
How about seperating concerns?
public class HRPromotion {
public boolean isPromotionDue(Employee employee) {
// Code to determine promotion
}
}
public class TaxCalculator {
public boolean calculateTaxFor(Employee employee) {
// Code to calculate tax
}
}
Which would make your employee class look like this:
public class Employee {
private Date dateOfJoining;
// & other attributes
// getters & setters for attributes
}
Open for extension but closed for modification
Imagine you have following class:
Imagine moreover you'd now have circles.
What would you most likely do?
Maybe something like this:
Which would leave your Shapes to look like this:
public class Circle implements Shape {
private double radius;
@Override
public double calculateArea() {
return Math.pow() * Math.PI;
}
}
public class Square implements Shape {
private double radius;
@Override
public double calculateArea() {
return height * width;
}
}
Example from geometry:
Between rectangles and squares a 'is a' relationship exists
This means ...
Problem:
A function expecting a rectangle does no longer work for a suqare
How to solve this within objectoriented programming?
First approach: Change direction of inheritance
Second approach: Give up inheritance
Formalization: If a function takes a parameter that is an instance from a superclass, then the function must accept a parameter of a subclass with the same symmantics without changing the behavior or the syammantics of the function itself.

Imagine you'd have an implementation of switch:
package de.solid.university;
import com.devices.Lamp;
public class Switch {
Lamp lamp = new Lamp();
public void turnOn() {
lamp.on();

public void turnOff() {
lamp.off();

What happens to the switch class if something changes in the lamp class? So how about:
package de.devices.lamp.switch;
public class Switch {
public void turnOn(Device device) {

Enumerable#map
In Ruby, enumerators allow for the iteration of items within arrays. There are many methods that can be used to iterate, and a very commonly used one is the .map method.
.map is an enumerator that returns a new array with the result of running a block (chunk of code) once for every element in the enumerator. For example:
(1..5).map { |i|i+i } #=> [2, 4,6,8, 10]

ZHA & Esplan Win Competition to Design the New Terminal for Rail Baltica
- by Christele Harrouk
- about 13 hours
Zaha Hadid Architects were selected along with Esplan from Estonia to design the new terminal of the Rail Baltic railway at Ülemiste, Tallinn. Their proposal for the starting point of the Rail Baltic line connecting Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius with the European high-speed rail network, has been awarded the first place in the design competition.
Organized by Rail Baltic Estonia, the international design competition for the terminal station in Ülemiste has been announced in May 2019. Rail Baltic is an 870 km electrified railway from Tallinn in Estonia to the Lithuanian-Polish border. The contest revolved around imagining the hub in Ülemiste, a multi-modal platform that serves both the network and the local community.
Imagined as a connecting public bridge, used by a diverse type of commuters, from locals to national and international rail passengers, as well as air travelers using the adjacent Tallinn airport, the Ülemiste terminal is a modular structural system built in phases. In fact, this phasing logic allows ongoing operations on the rail lines throughout construction.
I have been constantly informed about the developments in the Ülemiste area and in light of the works presented to the public today, I am more than convinced that the area is becoming one of the most attractive and, in terms of infrastructure, synergistic in Tallinn. A true multi-modal transport hub is emerging, with rail, bus and air traffic coming together there in the future. --Taavi Aas, Estonia’s Minister of Economic Affairs and Infrastructure.
The project’s design and experience were determined by the different circulation routes that pass through the building. In fact, these constraints are at the core of the architectural concept in order to enhance the parallelism of transportation systems and “aid navigation and the smooth integration of bus, tram and rail lines that intersect at the terminus”. The station has been designed and planned to BREEAM benchmarks and guidelines.

Nice to meet you, virtually. These sort of 'about me' narratives are uncomfortable for me; amd I typically laugh at those who compose boastful highlights of themselves. The truth about me is that the people with whom I surround myself professionally and personally are better then me at most everything; but it is their company that seems to get their qualities impressed upon me. One thing I can share is that I work very hard, and cannot remember a time that I quit or 'let up' because something was hard. Spontaneity combined with drive is a good joint-description.
I joined the Army at age 40; the oldest Californian to go through basic training, and I graduated as an honor grad with the highest PT score in the company. At Officer Candidate School, I earned the Erickson Trophy as the Distinguished Honor Graduate (I assume there was a Steven Swanson at OCS, and they made a mistake). I commissioned at age 41 years and 11 months; one month before Army regulations would have denied me a commission. I went on to become an intelligence officer (still holding TS-SCI clearance) with the 223rd MI BN, and later went on to be an infantry officer for the 184-1 BN, where I served as executive officer for several years. I completed my military career at the age of 49, and as an OCS instructor.
I live in Incline Village, NV and have been here for three years after moving from Sacramento, CA. In Sacramento, we raised our son, Conner, who graduated from Cal in 2019 and now works as a software engineeer at Amazon in Seattle. I have a passion for anything outdoors; snowshoeing, snowskiing, watersking, wakeboarding, surfing, mountain biking, and most recently, kite surfing. In 2017, I sold two companies for applications we created on Salesforce. These applicationss accelereated the recruitment and placement of clinical contongent labor (nurses and allied health workers) and I now work as the CIO for the larger parent company, and also lead StaffBot; the now independent company that creates software in the healthcare space.

--- layout: page headerImg: header.svg title: E-Cell IIIT-H cardTitle: Demystifying Entrepreneurship cardContent: At E-Cell, we aim to inspire university students to start their own ventures and dispel the many fears that surround starting one's own company. ---
Entrepreneurship Cell, IIIT Hyderabad is a non-profit organization run by students, and has been established with the objective of creating, manifesting and guiding the entrepreneurial spirit in the student community and to encourage them to be successful entrepreneurs. We want to build an ecosystem where networking and knowledge sharing can happen. To this end, we conduct several events, seminars and workshops both for students of and beyond our college for the purpose of cultivating this entrepreneurial spirit.
Started in 2016, Megathon is an ambitious hackathon organised by E-Cell IIIT Hyderabad with the intention of promoting the spirit of entrepreneurship and development among the student community in and around Hyderabad. Every edition has been a growing success with the participation steadily increasing. In 2018, we had around 1000 participants.
Fail is a celebration of the moments we don’t generally share: the moments of failure. The concept behind it is to inspire resilience by sharing the failure stories of celebrities. Started at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Fail was organised in Asia for the first time by E-Cell IIIT Hyderabad in March 2019. The speaker panel for the event consists of some of the most eminent and accomplished personalities in their respective fields. The event has witnessed a large audience in its past 2 iterations.
Startup Aid is a 3-sprint program to help IIIT-H students take their startup idea from paper to the market by connecting the students with experts who provide valuable insights and help them structure their concepts. After successful completion of the 3 sprints, students can pitch their idea in front of CIE and receive funding. The first iteration of the program saw 5 ideas getting incubated.
The only prerequisite is to have an interest in startups and the enthusiasm to build one! Startup Aid 3.0 will have an exclusive ideation phase initially, to cater to the motivated participants who don't have a concrete idea yet. Already have an interesting idea? Start directly from the 2nd phase or if it needs more polishing, start off with phase 1.

| DOSE: |
1 nuts |
oral |
Nutmeg |
(daily) |
The most significant effect of nutmeg is as an anti-hypertensive. I have taken it regularly for over ten years for this reason. I have recommended to one other person in the past because he had high blood pressure that no prescription drugs were reaching; It was dangerously high, 195/150 sort of thing, it worked great for him this way as well.
A side effect is a mild to strong sensory enhancement, and there is also some mystical/insightful sense enhancement as well.
The stuff can potentiate with other CNS depressants, such as alcohol. One evening, for example, several years ago, I had a couple of glasses of wine. This about knocked me out, and checking my blood pressure then it was 85/45.
I regarded the potency and psychological flavor of each nutmeg as unique... one may be stronger or weaker than another of the same size. Too, in my experience, the larger ones tend to have more of a blood pressure reducing effect, the smaller ones seem to have more of a mood-enhancing effect.
The recipe stuff one sees out there about nutmeg is abominable, and definitely it is not a smokable thing. Yuck! Dosing is simplicity itself!  No grating or any such nonsense. Just pop it in my mouth as I would a hard candy. In a minute or two it will break up just as hard candies do, with a little crunching tooth pressure. I chew it up good and swallow it, and wash it down with a good glass of water.
Nutmeg effects last a long time.... the peak is about 14 hours after I sink one. The effects last for 24-36 hours in my experience. It can be a bit disorienting so I would definitely not drive or use complex equipment for that time.

Xiaomi MIUI adds clipboard sharing feature - Gizchina.com
by Efe UdinXiaomi MIUI adds clipboard sharing feature
3.7 (73.33%) 3 votes
Chinese manufacturing giant, Xiaomi, is consistently working on its in-house MIUI Android skin. The company is preparing features such as Focus mode, Vientiane screen custom image & Class schedule features for Xiaomi MIUI 11. This new system also has features like notifications’ sound effect changes with time. Now, the latest report from Liu Ming, MIUI Product Manager, claims that MIUI now has a new clipboard sharing feature. Liu Ming said: “I saw that there are users sharing the clipboard. In fact, we have already supported it. We only need the computer to install the Xiaomi cloud service client.”
He shared an image of the shared clipboard button which is in the lower right corner of the keyboard. Next to the text of the clip is the cloud logo. The new clipboard sharing feature will allow users to copy and paste contents across platforms. The capability of the clipboard to work across platforms makes it “shared clipboard”. This means that whatever we copy on our Xiaomi phone can be easily pasted on other compatible platforms.
However, for this feature to work, the user will need the Xiaomi cloud service client. It will require that you log-in with the same Mi account on both platforms. This will certainly be a massive one for users who work across different devices. Although, Liu Ming said MIUI already supports it, the feature is not public yet. While we wait for the global dark mode on Xiaomi MIUI 12, clipboard sharing may be another feature to watch out for.

2001 Energy Task Force anticipated Iraq invasion
World Net Daily | Submitted by: Katie

Judicial Watch Inc. first requested the documents under the Freedom of Information Act in the spring of 2001, when Vice President Dick Cheney formed the secret task force. ... The unclassified map of Iraq turned over by the Commerce Department, a government member of the task force, shows the location of 'supergiant' oil fields, oil pipelines, refineries and tanker terminals. ... The secret White House task force solicited input from the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy at Rice University in Houston.

Airline rigging up planes with casino cameras

In addition, the charter airline, based in Largo, Florida, will store the digitized video for up to 10 years. ... 'What's the point of keeping track of everyone when nothing happens on the flight?' said Lee Tien, senior staff attorney for the civil liberties group Electronic Frontier Foundation. ... Not only would they keep a record of every recreational or business trip, they could record conversations between spouses and capture every book title or magazine a passenger reads."

Domestic-violence foe guilty of second-degree murder
Seattle Post-Intelligencer | Submitted by: Tim Howard
"A Federal Way woman who once led a group fighting domestic violence was convicted of second-degree murder yesterday after jurors didn't buy her claim of self-defense but couldn't agree whether the shooting was premeditated. Lorraine Netherton faces 16 to 25 years in the murder of Desiere Rants, a 22-year-old woman who found herself caught in the middle of a bitter child-custody dispute last fall. Netherton used to lead the Federal Way Domestic Violence Task Force but was ousted last year. Members voted to remove her, expressing concerns about 'her violent temper and her penchant for carrying handguns,' prosecutors wrote in court documents."

Pentagon comes down on gripers
San Francisco Chronicle | Submitted by: kade
"Ask any grunt standing guard on a 115-degree day what he or she thinks of the open-ended Iraq occupation, and you'll get an earful of colorful complaints. But going public isn't always easy, as soldiers of the Army's Second Brigade, Third Infantry Division found out after Good Morning America aired their complaints. ... One soldier said he felt like he'd been 'kicked in the guts, slapped in the face.' Another demanded that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld quit. The retaliation from Washington was swift.

Hydrogen cars not worth the effort

Sources: US to extend license for its companies to continue business with Huawei - Reuters
by Dhwani MehtaReuters quoted two sources familiar with the deliberations on Saturday, the US administration is set to issue a two-week extension of a license allowing US companies to continue doing business with China’s Huawei Technologies Co Ltd.
A source said: “The extension of around two weeks is far shorter than the prior 90-day extension and a longer extension is in the works but has not yet been finalized due to regulatory hurdles.”
The sources added that the extension will be announced on Monday, when the earlier reprieve is set to expire.
The Asian trading this Monday sees cautious optimism amid hopes of a US-China trade deal and rife Hong Kong civil tensions. USD/JPY caught a fresh bid-wave and jumped to fresh highs at 108.86 but a break above the 109 level still remains elusive. The Asian stocks turned positive, except for Australian and New Zealand equity markets, as Hong Kong’s Hang Seng rebounded.


ARCore phones can now detect depth with a single camera
by Abner LiARCore is Google’s platform for augmented reality available to Android and iOS apps. To allow for more immersive experiences, a new ARCore Depth API allows any compatible phone to create depth maps from a single camera.
The ARCore Depth API allows developers to use our depth-from-motion algorithms to create a depth map using a single RGB camera. The depth map is created by taking multiple images from different angles and comparing them as you move your phone to estimate the distance to every pixel.
One principle that makes AR more realistic is occlusion, or the “ability for digital objects to accurately appear in front of or behind real-world objects.” It lets applications make sure objects are not just floating in space or placed in a physically impossible position. This is particularly useful for making apps that let you demo furniture in your living room more realistic.
The example below is an updated version of AR animals in Google Search. The cat — with its hind legs hidden — appears behind the furniture instead of just standing in front of wherever you point the camera. It’s treating the background as being 3D with depth, not just as a flat surface. This more realistic experience will begin rolling out to some of the 200 million ARCore-enabled Android devices with the Google app today.
“Having a 3D understanding of the world” makes possible a number of other use cases. Google has explored (examples below) realistic physics, path planning, and surface interaction with ARCore’s new depth capability.
This one lens approach lowers the barrier to the technology by not requiring specialized cameras and sensors. That said, the Depth API will only improve with better hardware in phones. Google is letting developers collaborate on the new ARCore Depth API today.
For example, the addition of depth sensors, like time-of-flight (ToF) sensors, to new devices will help create more detailed depth maps to improve existing capabilities like occlusion, and unlock new capabilities such as dynamic occlusion — the ability to occlude behind moving objects.

Adding authentication
Now that we have an administration area we need to plug in some authentication. Fortunately, Play has a module for that. It’s called the Secure module.
Enabling the Secure module
Enable the Secure module in the yabe/conf/application.conf
file and restart the application.
# Import the secure module
module.secure=${play.path}/modules/secure
After restarting, Play should say that the module is loaded.
The Secure module comes with a set of default routes that you can easily enable in the yabe/conf/routes
file (or we could define our own routes as well):
# Import Secure routes
* / module:secure
Protecting the admin controllers
The module provides a controllers.Secure
controller that declares all needed interceptors. Of course we could just inherit from this controller but because Java is limited to simple inheritance it would be problematic.
Instead of directly inheriting from the Secure
controller, we can annotate the admin controllers using the @With
annotation to tell Play to invoke the corresponding interceptors as well:
package controllers;
import play.*;
import play.mvc.*;
@With(Secure.class)
public class Posts extends CRUD {
}
Do the same for the Comments
, Users
and Tags
controllers.
Now if you try to access any admin action, you should get a log-in page:
In fact, for now you can try any user name/password pair, and it will just work.
Customizing the authentication process
The application has to provide an instance of controllers.Secure.Security
to customize the authentication process. By creating our own version of this class we will be able to specify exactly how users should be authenticated.
Create a yabe/app/controllers/Security.java
file and override the authenticate()
method:
package controllers;
import models.*;
public class Security extends Secure.Security {
static boolean authenticate(String username, String password) {
return true;
}
}
As we already have the User objects part of the blog model, it is easy to implement a working version of this method:
static boolean authenticate(String username, String password) {
return User.connect(username, password) != null;
}
Now go to http://localhost:9000/logout to log out and you can try logging in with one of the users imported in the initial-data.yml
file, like<EMAIL_ADDRESS>.
Refactoring the administration area
We’ve started the administration area using the CRUD module, but it is not yet well integrated with the blog UI. We will start to work on a new administration area. This one will give each author access to his/her own posts. The full-featured administration using CRUD will still be available for super administrator users.
Let’s create a new Admin
controller for the administration part:
package controllers;
import play.*;
import play.mvc.*;
import java.util.*;
import models.*;
@With(Secure.class)
public class Admin extends Controller {
@Before
static void setConnectedUser() {
if(Security.isConnected()) {
User user = User.find("byEmail", Security.connected()).first();
renderArgs.put("user", user.fullname);
}
}
public static void index() {
render();
}
}
And refactor the routes definition in yabe/conf/routes
:
# Administration
GET /admin/? Admin.index
* /admin module:crud
Remember that order matters in the routes file; the first line that matches the incoming HTTP request is used. This means that the entries that map to the Admin
controller must come before the second line above, which maps all other /admin
requests to CRUD module pages. Otherwise, /admin/
will map to CRUD.index
instead of Admin.index
.
Now link the ‘Log in to write something’ text from the yabe/app/views/main.html
template to this controller:
…

Log in to write something

…
The last thing to make all this new stuff work is to create the yabe/app/views/Admin/index.html
template. Let’s start with something simple:
Welcome ${user}!
Now, go to the blog home page, click the ‘Log in to write something’ link and you should get to the new administration area:
Good start! But since we will have several pages in this administration area, we need a super-template. Let’s create it in the yabe/app/views/admin.html
file:
<!DOCTYPE html>

<title>Administration</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
#{get 'moreStyles' /}
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen"
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>/>
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/png"
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>/>

Posted on Nov 15, 2017
When it comes to getting strong, atheletic and fit overall, people really focus on their time inside the gym and especially on *how much* they can lift. Some take the extra step and also focus on *how* they are lifting (by getting coached, taking videos and getting a form critique etc). But once the lift is done, they go back to an "autopilot" mode and do not pay attention to their movement pattern or posture. They stay in this mode when out of the gym as well, going about their day without being mindful at all about how they are moving or positioning themselves.
This is okay for well balanced people without motor control, mobility or prioprioceptive issues. Unfortunately most people are anything but that. And hence, in their pursuits, most end up taking one step forward (work in the gym) and 2 or more steps backward (poor movement patterns outside).
If you are still not sold on the idea of being an athelete both inside and outside of the gym , hopefully this post will hit the point home. This article focusses on the impact of the way we move and the positions we hold in everyday life on training and general well being. We talk about why moving well should be the *first* priority for anyone looking to improve their fitness, strength, athleticism and general well being.
Although questions like "How much can you lift?" or "How long you can row?" are good enough metrics to determine how strong or fit a person is "on paper", it doesn't reveal much about one's true atheletic potential and functional fitness. No such inference is possible from knowing just a handful of numbers in kilos, pounds, minutes or the like. However, if we pay attention to and closely monitor *how* a lift (or a movement pattern) is executed, we can go about observing one's mobility, stability, agility, motor control and proprioception. These traits are key to truly determine athleticism and further allow us realize what is truly holding one back in terms of progress and satisfactory training.
We can thus take this observation to the following ultimate conclusion regarding true athletic potential:
It is not about how much one lifts but how one moves
Being functionally fit and strong is more about how you move. If you move well unweighted, it is just a matter of time and progressively overloading a few movements to add strength. One key assumption here is enough time and patience is needed to make sure form and technique come first and we don't get too greedy and sacrifice them for faster progress.
On the other hand, if one's movement patterns are limited by mobility or plagued by imbalances or proprioceptive issues, chasing strength first would be a fools errand. The journey will be slower as one will be troubled with repeated injuries, nagging unnatural pains that will call for countless hours of "mobility work" and physiotherapy to sort out. Needless to say, the journey here will be no fun at all.


Lou Farrar, beloved Charter Oak High football coach, dies at 73
COVINA, Calif. -- Lou Farrar, a legendary football coach at Charter Oak High School in Covina, died Sunday after a battle with leukemia. He was 73.
Farrar coached at Charter Oak High School for 39 years, winning five Southern Section championships and racking up more than 300 wins.
"This morning Big Lou passed away peacefully from complications due to leukemia," the school's football team shared on Twitter. "He was diagnosed in April. His family will think of him everyday & are so grateful they had him as a guiding force in their lives & the lives of so many others. Funeral services will be shared soon."
Farrar coached for more than five decades.


For everyone who wants a responsive navigation bar that looks good on every screensize, lightweight and easy to implement.
Existing "premade" navbars are usually packed with a full blown CSS framework and rely heavily on JS. If you are already using Bootstrap for your site maybe it's not worth it but I would still recommend giving it a try for the fancy colors and animations.
The origial CSS file is about 9KB, the minified is about 7KB and the minified version gzipped is about only 1KB.

Limitations¶
- Backward compatibility:
Only breakpoint tables version 7.1 and more recent have been parsed and tested.
- Pre-processing:
Currently, the automatic pre-processing via the function is very sensitive to any changes. Generally the macro should be deleted from the Excel file again after every run to ensure correct execution.
Strikethrough text cannot be differentiated from normal text by the parser and will therefore be transcribed with the rest of the text if it is not removed manually.
- Route of Administration and Indication:
Information on the route of administration and particular indications can not be considered in the query directly. This information is, however, saved in the parsed Breakpoint table and can be accessed manually if needed.
During the processing some breakpoints are filtered if more than one route of administration or indication were provided. In these cases breakpoints that were applicable to no specific indication and breakpoints aiming at intravenous administration were preferred.
- Intrinsic resistances:
While the breakpoint table can be updated easily by parsing it again via the provided functions in this package, the intrinsic resistance table was developed manually as the information is provided in a pdf file only. In case of a new publication follow the steps outlined in the manual updates section.
- Interpretive rules:
- Manual Curation:
- The rules of the rule based engine were transcribed manually based on the Expert Rules and Intrinsic Resistances version 2.0 document. If newer versions are published they have to be updated according to the steps outlined in the manual updates section.
- Inclusion of additional information:
- Some of the rules rely on additional information regarding the sample, such as whether Beta-Lactamase is present. At this moment there is no sensible way to consider this information in the mic label detemination workflow.

Ghani accepts President Trump’s invitation to visit U.S.: ARG Palace
by Khaama PressPresident Mohammad Ashraf Ghani accepted President Donald Trump’s invitation to visit the United States, the ARG Presidential Palace said.
Presidential spokesperson Sediq Sediqqi said President Ghani and President Trump spoke on the phone on Thursday evening in which the two leaders had detailed discussion about peace process and the important progress the Afghan forces have made on the battlefield.
“President Trump thanked President Ghani for his efforts and support in ensuring the release of the two American University professors from the Taliban’s captivity”, Sediqqi said, adding that the two leaders also praised the efforts of Afghan security forces in defeating the Daesh in Nangarhar province.
According to Sediqqi, the two leaders also discussed the Afghan government’s 7-point peace plan. “In response, President Trump insisted on a ceasefire as precondition before negotiations.”
President Trump also stated that for any process to succeed, the Afghan government’s inclusion in the talks and their ownership and leadership of the process from the outset is imperative, which must begin immediately, Sediqqi added.
He also added “Finally, the U.S. president extended an invitation to President Ghani to visit the White House, which the president accepted.”

Hello, I am Wilkie Overton III. Born and raised in Austin Texas. I spent most of my life in Texas. I am probably one of the last born Austin-nite, that still in the area. I am one of four children with two brothers, one older and one younger, and sharing the middle with my older sister.
In 1997, I left Austin to attend Angelo State University.While in college I began working with persons with disabilities. I started working directly with them training and teaching them how to do daily activities (cleaning, shopping, cooking). I enjoyed just helping them do things that we normally take for granted. I have been working with my current company for the last eight years. Here I use the skill that I have learned over my past employment with the state to provide clients with therapies and services they need. I also provide tech support to my office and other offices around the state.
My fascination with computers started when I was a kid with the discovery of video games. Most of my childhood was spent gaming. I took my first coding class in ninth grade. It was mostly working with Pascal language. While in college I took a computer science class for an elective, but it was just a history course. So now I am jumping back in to something that I always wanted to do and so far, it is great. Welcome to my page.
