Truth is much too complicated to allow anything but approximations. - John Von NeumannI have always dreamed of writing a short book on data structures and algorithms that are not widely known outside of academic circles.  Carpe diem!" This is the draft of the first chapter. I plan to open-source all eight chapters of my book. This is my first time pursuing such an adventure, and I would greatly appreciate your feedback.
In the mid-90s, the Massachusetts Group Insurance Commission (GIC) released data on state employees' hospital visits, claiming it was anonymized. However, Latanya Sweeney, a Ph.D. student at MIT at the time, discovered that by linking the medical data with the voter roll in Cambridge, some data could be de-anonymized. To the surprise of many, Sweeney was able to successfully identify then Massachusetts governor, William Weld, in relation to his medical records.
Paul Ohm, a Professor of Law at Georgetown University, recalled this incident in his paper titled “Broken Promises of Privacy”:
At the time that GIC released the data, William Weld, then−Governor of Massachusetts, assured the public that GIC had protected patient privacy by deleting identifiers. In response, then−graduate student Sweeney started hunting for the Governor’s hospital records in the GIC data. She knew that Governor Weld resided in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a city of fifty-four thousand residents and seven ZIP codes. For twenty dollars, she purchased the complete voter rolls from the city of Cambridge—a database containing, among other things, the name, address, ZIP code, birth date, and sex of every voter. By combining this data with the GIC records, Sweeney found Governor Weld with ease. Only six people in Cambridge shared his birth date; only three were men, and of the three, only he lived in his ZIP code. In a theatrical flourish, Dr. Sweeney sent the governor’s health records (including diagnoses and prescriptions) to his office.
Later, in the year 2006, AOL released approximately 20 million search queries from 650,000 users collected over three months, with the intent of allowing researchers to understand search patterns. They anonymized the records by removing user identifiers and released the data with the following attributes: AnonymousID, Query, QueryTime, ItemRank, and ClickURL.
A few days later, two New York Times journalists, Michael Barbaro and Tom Zeller Jr. began investigating the search queries and discovered that a user with the anonymous ID 4417749 had queried for things like landscapers in Lilburn, GA, people names with last name Arnold, and homes sold in shadow lake subdivision gwinnett county georgia.
By narrowing down the search to 14 citizens with the last name Arnold near Lilburn, GA, they were able to identify the user as 62-year-old Thelma Arnold! This led to a class-action lawsuit being filed against AOL, which was eventually settled in 2013.
These incidents highlight the ease with which seemingly anonymized data can be de-anonymized. In an ideal world, organizations would employ mitigation techniques to ensure that such linkage attacks cannot occur, both within the organization and when the data is publicly released.
However, comprehending the privacy risks associated with data can be a challenge, especially for large organizations that handle vast amounts of information. It raises the question, how can we automate and scale the process to accommodate large databases? This is the central issue we will be addressing in this chapter.
Let us begin by discussing two characteristics of data sets that can aid in these privacy assessments - reidentifiability and joinability.
To understand these concepts, let us consider an example of a medical database with attributes such as Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Gender, ZIP code, and Diagnosis. Even if sensitive information like the Social Security Number is removed from this database, it can still be vulnerable to a linkage attack by using auxiliary data such as Date of Birth, Gender, and ZIP code from voter information, as demonstrated by Dr. Sweeney in the Cambridge de-anonymization case.
Reidentifiability is a characteristic that measures the potential for a given anonymized or pseudonymized data to be de-anonymized, revealing the identities of the users.
Joinability is another characteristic that measures whether two or more datasets can be linked by unexpected join keys, such as Date of Birth, Gender, and ZIP code in our example.
The KHyperLogLog algorithm, which will be the focus of this chapter, is an algorithm introduced by Google that helps estimate the risks of reidentifiability and joinability in large databases.
To understand KHyperLogLog, we must first delve into the concept of Approximate Counting. Simply put, approximate counting is a technique that approximates the number of distinct elements in a set by using a small amount of memory.
There are two common algorithms for approximate counting: K Minimum Values (KMV) and HyperLogLog (HLL).
K Minimum Values (KMV) estimates the number of distinct elements (N) in a set by keeping track of the K smallest hash values of the elements. It has a time complexity of O(N) and a space complexity of O(K).
The intuition behind KMV is that if we assume we have a hash function H whose output is evenly distributed across the hash space, we can estimate the number of distinct elements by computing the average distance between two consecutive hashes (referred to as the density) and then dividing the length of the hash space by this density.
However, even for 32-bit hashes, the storage cost can be substantial if the number of distinct elements is large. To overcome this, KMV uses the K smallest hash values to extrapolate the density of the hash space. An example of this is shown in Figure 1.
The estimations produced by K Minimum Values algorithm have a relative standard error rate of √ 1/K . For example, if K = 1024 and the hash function generates 64-bit hashes, then the relative standard error rate of the estimations is 3.125% and the size of KMV is 8 KB (1024 * 8 bytes).
Instead of keeping track of the K smallest hash values and computing the average distance estimation, we can keep track of the maximum number of trailing zeros seen from all the hash values. This, as we will observe, will help reduce space complexity.
The intuition behind this approach is that, given the uniformity assumption of our hash function, as the number of distinct elements seen by us increases, the maximum number of trailing zeros seen also increases. We can then use this idea to extrapolate the approximate count.  If you tell me that the maximum run was of 3 heads, I can imagine that you did not really flipped the coin a lot of times. If instead your longest run was 13, you probably spent a lot of time flipping the coin.
However if you get lucky and the first time you get 10 heads, an event that is unlikely but possible, and then stop flipping your coin, I’ll provide you a very wrong approximation of the time you spent flipping the coin. So I may ask you to repeat the experiment, but this time using 10 coins, and 10 different piece of papers, one per coin, where you record the longest run of heads. This time since I can observe more data, my estimation will be better.
Long story short this is what HyperLogLog does: it hashes every new element you observe. Part of the hash is used to index a register (the coin+paper pair, in our previous example. Basically we are splitting the original set into m subsets). The other part of the hash is used to count the longest run of leading zeroes in the hash (our run of heads). The probability of a run of N+1 zeroes is half the probability of a run of length N, so observing the value of the different registers, that are set to the maximum run of zeroes observed so far for a given subset, HyperLogLog is able to provide a very good approximated cardinality.
More formally, when working with a hash of P bits, we utilize the first X bits to index into the register, and the remaining P-X bits to count the maximum number of trailing zeros at that register. This approach results in the creation of 2X such registers, ensuring a space complexity of O(2X).
After the stream of data elements is observed, HyperLogLog estimates the number of distinct elements in each register (BI) as 2I, where I represent the maximum number of trailing zeros seen in register I. The overall estimation of unique values is determined by taking the harmonic mean of BI for all values of I.
But why use the harmonic mean instead of the geometric mean? The authors of HyperLogLog explained in their paper that:
The idea of using harmonic means originally drew its inspiration from an insightful note of Chassaing and Gérin: such means have the effect of taming probability distributions with slow-decaying right tails, and here they operate as a variance reduction device, thereby appreciably increasing the quality of estimates.
Intuitively, this means that the harmonic mean helps reduce the impact
of unusually large trailing zero counts (outliers). For instance, the
harmonic mean of {1,2,2,3,3,9}
is 2.16, whereas its
geometric mean is 2.62. Additionally, the harmonic mean
tends to ignore numbers as they approach infinity
- the harmonic mean of {2, 2} = {1.5, 3} = {1, inf} = 2
.
In comparison to KMV, HyperLogLog has a relative standard error rate of 1.04/ √ M , where M = 2X. This means that if M = 1024 and the hash function again generates 64-bit hashes, then the relative standard error rate of the estimations is slightly increased to 3.25%, however the size of is drastically reduced to 768 B (assuming each register is of size 6 bits, 1024*6 = 6144 bits = 768 bytes).
Now, let us understand how these approximate counting algorithms can assist us in measuring reidentifiability and joinability.
Before proceeding, it is important to understand that possessing only
cardinality estimates is not helpful. Consider a scenario where we are
storing User Agents along with their corresponding user IDs. A User
Agent on Google Chrome, for example, would look like the following:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.103 Safari/537.36
When assessing reidentifiability, we are not particularly interested in the number of unique User Agents we have seen. Instead, we would like to estimate the uniqueness distribution of these User Agents given their user IDs. This would help us understand how many User Agents have unique user IDs, which in turn would increase their chances of getting reidentified. For example, refer to Figure 2.
To estimate such uniqueness distributions, the
KHyperLogLog algorithm
was introduced. It combines the K Minimum Values and HyperLogLog
algorithms into a two-level data structure that stores data of
the type (field, ID)
. Using our previous example, the
field
would be the User Agent, and the
ID
would be the user ID.
The first level of KHyperLogLog stores the K smallest hashes of field values. Each of these hashes corresponds to a HyperLogLog structure that contains the hashes of IDs associated with their field value and their trailing zero counts.
For a stream of (field, ID)
pairs, the
construction algorithm
is as follows:
h(field)
and the h(ID)
.h(field)
is present inside the KHyperLogLog data
structure (i.e. it is one of the K smallest hashes of field
values seen so far), then use the h(ID)
to update the
HyperLogLog part corresponding to h(field)
.
h(field)
is not present in the KHyperLogLog data
structure, check if it belongs among the K smallest hashes.
h(field)
to the K Minimum Values
structure, and add the h(ID)
to its corresponding
HyperLogLog part.
An example of such a construction is provided in Figure 3.
To understand the estimation of reidentifiability using KHyperLogLog, it is essential to first understand the concept of k-anonymity.
k-anonymity is a technique that prevents linkage attacks by modifying values in such a way that no individual is uniquely identifiable from a group of at least k or more. The value of k represents the degree of anonymity, and such groups form an equivalence class.
One of the methods used to achieve k-anonymity is called Generalization.
This technique involves replacing specific values with generic and
semantically similar values. For example, ZIP codes such as
{13053, 13058, 13063, 13067}
can be generalized into
{1305*, 1306*}
. Additionally, categories such as
{widowed, married, divorced}
can be generalized into
{been_married}
.
An example of k-anonymity in action is illustrated in Figure 4.
The general rule of thumb is that: The more generalization you perform, the more information is lost (and thus, the less utility). Therefore, it is recommended to not generalize more than what is necessary.
k-anonymity is a valuable tool in protecting against membership disclosure, which refers to the ability to determine whether an individual is present in a dataset. Another type of disclosure, sensitive attribute disclosure, involves the identification of sensitive information such as salary or political affiliation. While k-anonymity alone may not prevent sensitive attribute disclosure, it can be used in combination with techniques like l-diversity.
l-diversity is concerned with ensuring diversity in sensitive attributes within each equivalence class. In other words, it is important for the sensitive attributes to vary among individuals in the same group. Though we will not delve deeply into l-diversity in this chapter, it is useful to visualize this concept using the above example.
If the second row would also contain Uncommon cold, then one could deduce that someone matching the first three columns has Uncommon cold. However, if we stipulate that the second row must contain a different value for the Medical Issue attribute, then we can ensure that this attribute is not disclosed for a person with the same birth year, gender and ZIP code.
k-anonymity has a direct impact on reidentifiability. When the k value is high, there is more generalization, which in turn increases anonymity and decreases the potential for reidentifiability.
Lastly, it is important to note that k-anonymity is not a highly robust privacy definition. If you desire to securely anonymize your data, more powerful tools such as Differential Privacy may be beneficial.
Let us now return to the topic of estimating reidentifiability using KHyperLogLog. Figures 5 and 6 demonstrate how Figure 2 can be modified to estimate a good k threshold. We can then set up periodic analyses to monitor whether the uniqueness is below a given threshold or not.
The joinability of two fields, say F1 and F2 (for instance, User Agents from two databases), can be estimated using a metric called containment.
The containment of F1 in F2 is defined as |F1 ∩ F2| / |F1|. This is different from Jaccard Similarity, which is usually defined as |F1 ∩ F2| / |F1 U F2|. Jaccard Similarity is not ideal in cases where one dataset contains a small subset of users from a larger dataset, as the Jaccard Similarity would be quite low for such cases, even though the containment of the smaller dataset in the larger one would be high.
To compute containment using KHyperLogLog, we require the cardinality of F1, F2, and their intersection. The cardinality of their intersection can be computed using the inclusion-exclusion principle, i.e. |F1 ∩ F2| = |F1| + |F2| - |F1 U F2|.
The union of F1 and F2 can be estimated by merging the KHyperLogLogs of F1 and F2. This can be done by finding the set union of their K Minimum Values structures; that is, by combining the two structures and retaining their K smallest hashes. If F1 and F2 have different K values, we use the smallest K.
Furthermore, we can use F1 and F2's individual K Minimum Value structures to estimate the number of distinct elements in them.
Once we know how to calculate the containment metric, we can create periodic KHyperLogLog-based joinability analyses that check whether the containment score is below an optimal threshold or not.
This strategy has proven to be quite useful for Google, who mentioned how this metric was able to mitigate a significant joinability risk:
Periodic KHLL-based joinability analyses have enabled us to uncover multiple logging mistakes that we were able to quickly resolve. One instance was the exact position of the volume slider on a media player, which was mistakenly stored as a 64-bit floating-point number. Such a high entropy value would potentially increase the joinability risk between signed-in and signed-out identifiers. We were able to mitigate the risk by greatly reducing the precision of the value we logged.
However, care must be taken as this method is still susceptible to false
positives and negatives. For example, one could determine that the
port_number
and seconds_till_midnight
fields
are joinable since they both have an extensive overlap in the [0, 86400)
value region. Additionally, this metric would fail to detect fields that
have different encodings (such as base64 and raw string) or have
undergone a minor transformation (like a microsecond timestamp and a
millisecond timestamp). Experimentally, it was also noticed that the
containment metric can be unreliable when dealing with highly unequal
set sizes. User intervention is necessary for such scenarios.
(field, ID)
tuples can be done in a distributed fashion. See
Figure 7 for an illustration of the workflow.
In conclusion, KHyperLogLog can be very effective in estimating reidentifiability and joinability at scale in an offline fashion. This, in turn, can help in evaluating privacy strategies surrounding your data and enable efficient regression testing.

Tcl_CreateFileHandler, Tcl_DeleteFileHandler - associate procedure callbacks with files or devices (Unix only)
#include <tcl.h>
Tcl_CreateFileHandler(fd, mask, proc, clientData)
Tcl_DeleteFileHandler(fd)
Tcl_CreateFileHandler arranges for proc to be invoked in the future whenever I/O becomes possible on a file or an exceptional condition exists for the file. The file is indicated by fd, and the conditions of interest are indicated by mask. For example, if mask is TCL_READABLE, proc will be called when the file is readable. The callback to proc is made by Tcl_DoOneEvent, so Tcl_CreateFileHandler is only useful in programs that dispatch events through Tcl_DoOneEvent or through Tcl commands such as vwait.
Proc should have arguments and result that match the type Tcl_FileProc:
typedef void Tcl_FileProc( ClientData clientData, int mask);
The clientData parameter to proc is a copy of the clientData argument given to Tcl_CreateFileHandler when the callback was created. Typically, clientData points to a data structure containing application-specific information about the file. Mask is an integer mask indicating which of the requested conditions actually exists for the file; it will contain a subset of the bits in the mask argument to Tcl_CreateFileHandler.
There may exist only one handler for a given file at a given time. If Tcl_CreateFileHandler is called when a handler already exists for fd, then the new callback replaces the information that was previously recorded.
Tcl_DeleteFileHandler may be called to delete the file handler for fd; if no handler exists for the file given by fd then the procedure has no effect.
The purpose of file handlers is to enable an application to respond to events while waiting for files to become ready for I/O. For this to work correctly, the application may need to use non-blocking I/O operations on the files for which handlers are declared. Otherwise the application may block if it reads or writes too much data; while waiting for the I/O to complete the application won't be able to service other events. Use Tcl_SetChannelOption with -blocking to set the channel into blocking or nonblocking mode as required.
Note that these interfaces are only supported by the Unix implementation of the Tcl notifier.

At Swift Nature Camp, we are carrying on the tradition of pioneer environmentalist Ernie Swift (1897 - 1968). As one of the first conservation department wardens of Wisconsin, Ernie strove to preserve and teach environmental awareness. Ernie eventually rose to serve as the department's Director and later he was appointed by President Eisenhover as the Assistant Director of the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service. When asked, Ernie would say his best work was as the Executive Director of the National Wildlife Federation.

by Curtis Edmonds --<EMAIL_ADDRESS>I know it seems ungrateful to discuss a well-crafted, well performed movie like A Simple Plan on the basis of its flaws, but there isn't another honest way to do it, and anyway, there's only two of them. The first one isn't even anyone's fault. Originally, director Sam Raimi had tried to shoot the movie in Ohio, but the script called for there to be massive quantities of snow everywhere, and it was too warm last winter for that in Ohio. Production was moved to Minnesota, where there was plenty of snow. However, it was easier to change the setting than it was to change the accents of stars Billy Bob Thornton and Bill Paxton. As a result, A Simple Plan ends up looking like Fargo but sounding like Deliverance.
And the other flaw...
I really don't want to talk about the other flaw. Partly because it's a spoiler, and I don't like putting spoilers in movie reviews or critics that put spoilers in movie reviews. Partly because you'd never know about it if you hadn't read the book first. And partly because, despite the flaw, A Simple Plan turns out to be a pretty good movie nonetheless.

The book and the movie both start out the same way. Paxton and Thornton play brothers Hank and Jacob Mitchell. Hank is educated, intelligent, and married, while Jacob is uneducated, dim, and lives alone in a filthy hovel. (Thornton's character is dim, but sweet and goofy, a world apart from his character in Sling Blade.) They are joined by Jacob's redneck friend Lou (Brent Briscoe, also from Sling Blade) on a visit to their parents' grave that turns into an impromptu hunting trip that turns into the discovery of $4.4 million in used hundred-dollar bills found in a downed plane. The "simple plan" of the title is that Hank will hold the money until the plane is found and it's safe to split the proceeds and leave town.
A movie isn't a movie without conflict, and conflict soon develops. Things aren't helped when Hank's manipulative, pregnant wife Sarah (Bridget Fonda) enters the picture and proceeds to scheme ways to protect her husband from the incompetence of his cohorts in crime. And then, one night, fueled by booze and distrust, the situation explodes... and this is where the flaw happens.
The novel, written by Scott B. Smith, is wonderful, but it's very coldblooded and cruel, much more than the movie. The filmmakers made the decision to tone down some of the more evil and heartless aspects of the novel. I understand their reasoning, but I can't agree with it. As a result of a bad choice midway through the movie, the ending becomes painful and false. What should be gut-wrenching and powerful instead becomes foolish and almost laughable.
I take nothing away from the principal actors. When the casting was announced, I thought that Paxton, Thornton, and Fonda were the best team that could have been assembled, and I still think so. Paxton does a steady, workmanlike job in a steady, workmanlike part. Thornton pulls another Southern Gothic portrayal out of his repertoire and does his customary, outstanding job. Fonda has the most difficult role, changing back and forth from a nurturing wife and mother to a calculating conspirator in rapid-fire mode, and she's sharp and convincing.
The performances are enough to recommend this movie, especially accompanied by the bleak Minnesota scenery which provides an effective backdrop to the bleakness of the story. But fans of the book will walk away feeling disappointed and cheated. The novel is a classic morality play, illustrating the limits of greed and corruption, but the movie doesn't come anywhere near close to reaching those limits.

The base 10 number system is called Denary, and it is what most people think of numbers as in the western world. What is meant by the number system being base 10, is that there are 10 characters to represent numbers, for denary, these are 0-9. Once we have reached the number 9 and want to add one more we just set the first column to 0, and set the next highest column to 1.
The base 2 number system is called Binary, and it is what computers understand. Sometimes people find it hard to understand how binary works because they don't see how the denary system works in a way that would make it easy to. For the binary system, there are two characters to represent numbers, 0 and 1. Binary is used in computers because that 0 or 1 represents off or on so numbers can be represented with the flow of electricity.
The base 26 number system is called Hexadecimal, and it is what is commonly used to display numbers to a person rather than binary since it is easier to see a bunch of letters and numbers and understand what it means rather than a load of 1s and zeros. Haxadecimal and binary have a special connection between them when when converting them since each nibble (four bits) corresponds to one character of hexadecimal. For the hexadecimal system, there are 16 characters to represent numbers, 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E and F.
To convert a number from binary to denary, you must add up all the numbers from the columns that have 1s in them, for example in 00010011 you add up 16+2+1 to get 19. To convert back to binary you can use the dividing method where you take the denary number, for example 27, and divide it by two, if there is a remainder then set the first column to 1 and then repeat moving up the columns form right to left until you have nothing left. If there is no remainder then set the number to 0. For the example of 27 it would be 11011
To change from binary to hexadecimal you take each nibble and find what value that nibble is worth on its own. For example your first nibble might be 1010. This equals 10 in denary so we assign that nibble the character A (since A represents 10 in hexadecimal) and move onto the next nibble. To go from hexadecimal to binary we just do the inverse, taking each character, finding it's value, and finding how that is represented in binary as a nibble.
Converting from denary to hexadecimal is done in the similar way we converted denary to binary. We do it by dividing the number by 16 this time and put the remainder in the '1's column. Then we take the number we have left after dividing and repeat the process moving up the hexadecimal number. In order to convert back to denary we just times each character by what that column represents. For example the 'F' in 'F7' is in the 16 coloumn and represents 15, when these are timesed it makes 240. Then we add on the next character which in the example is in the 1 column so it is just worth 7 and when added on this makes 247.

* *
Dear Dry,
This past weekend Operation Rescue/Save America started its week-long siege of clinics in New Orleans, Louisiana. I’m writing to you from New Orleans where our Clinic Defense team is working with local officials, community leaders, and volunteer escorts to ensure protection for the clinics and doctors.
*We need your help to keep the city’s two clinics open and its doctors, patients, and staff safe. * [ http://org.salsalabs.com/o/1400/p/salsa/donation/common/public/?donate_page_KEY=11227 ]
Over the weekend, anti-abortion extremists distributed “WANTED”-style flyers featuring photos of doctors, their home addresses, and clinic information at one of the doctors’ homes. We were there to coordinate clinic defenders and monitor and record the disruptive protests.
Similar “WANTED”-style posters appeared in the early 1990s before doctors were murdered by extremists in Florida.
But OR/OSA’s efforts to intimidate and threaten the doctor backfired. Outraged, the doctor’s neighbors came out of their homes to join our clinic defenders and protest the extremists’ tactics. One quickly made and posted a big sign in their front yard that read:
“WE SUPPORT FREEDOM! AND WE LOVE OUR NEIGHBOR.”
So many people in New Orleans have stepped forward to lend their support and time. They are so gracious to us, and we are working so fabulously together.
Our work to defend abortion clinics has become even more difficult in the wake of the recent Supreme Court decision striking down clinic buffer zones. *That’s why we are asking for your support.* [ http://org.salsalabs.com/o/1400/p/salsa/donation/common/public/?donate_page_KEY=11227 ]
After New Orleans, our team will travel to Jackson, Mississippi, for the trial of anti-abortion extremist and OR/OSA leader Chet Gallagher. Gallagher was arrested earlier at the Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the only clinic that remains open in Mississippi. With your support, we will be there to make sure the clinic stays open when anti-abortion extremists gather for the trial.
*Please make a tax-deductible contribution today to support the National Clinic Access Project and our work to defend clinics.* [ http://org.salsalabs.com/o/1400/p/salsa/donation/common/public/?donate_page_KEY=11227 ]
For Women’s Lives,
duVergne Gaines
NCAP Director
P.S. Without clinics there is no choice. Please give today, we don’t have a moment to waste in our work to keep clinics open and health care workers safe.

"The Prince of Egypt" Review by Fontaine Lien http://members.aol.com/saitiau/cinema.html
"And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided." -- Exodus 14:21
It's one thing reading the Exodus chapter in a church, in a retreat, in a classroom, or even seeing the old black and white version on TV. It's another *seeing* Moses take his staff, raise his eyes towards the sky, and part the ocean. In the DreamWorks cartoon adaptation of possibly the most famous story of all, image is the emphasis and they do a darn good job of emphasizing it. For believers, this film will be a major spiritual experience; for nonbelievers (like me), it will be two hours of magic and jaw-dropping awe. Suffice to say that for at least two hours, I almost became a believer.
As I said, the film's strong point is its animation. You probably already know that from the previews alone. There are amazing sequences in the film: as the Hebrews are passing through the wall of water on the Red Sea, we briefly catch a glimpse of a whale behind the wall of aquablue. During one spectacular dream sequence, Moses dreams that he's trapped in the walls of the castle, that he became one of the Egyptian figures on the wall. Guards chase him from corner to corner, from pillar to pillar. And one of my favorite scenes from the movie: when God sends a plague to Egypt. It originates as a sort of mini-galaxy in the sky, the ghostly white tendrils dancing eerily across the pitch-black sky, winding their way through town, deftly avoiding houses with the mark of lamb's blood. It's graceful, haunting, and solemn at the same time. It's quiet, but the kind of quiet we see in those shots of Paris we get before the city gets blown up in "Armageddon." I especially admire the way they drew the water in this movie: from the gentle river little Moses is first placed in, to the river that Moses/God turns into blood, to the dividing Red Sea. The light, too. The light Moses is bathed in when he sees the burning bush, the aforementioned eery whiteness of the plague. Of course, overall the artwork is just amazing.  But then again, this is a different kind of story. Not only was the art itself stunning, you've got to give the director (or animator?) credit for arranging the objects to give them symbolic meaning, sometimes obvious and sometimes not so obvious.
Having said that the art is the movie's strong point, I'll have to say that aside from the "Deliver Me" tune and much-better-than-radio-version "When You Believe" (gracefully weaved together at the end of the movie), most of the other song numbers don't fit in too well for me. "You're Playing w/ the Big Guys Now" just doesn't seem appropriate here. This is not another "Hercules." The score was pretty good most of the time: it worked best when it was quiet, some of the dramatic moments were a little distracting. To me, it had a chant-like feel to it that is very similar to the score of "The Lion King." The voices were okay -- they weren't distracting, and that's a good thing. Val Kilmer did a great job as Moses/God; I didn't even know that was him until later. In fact, the only voice I could recognize was Jeff Goldblum's, if only because he has just a distinctive way of speaking and I've see way too many iMac commercials.
"The Prince of Egypt" is a film for adults and children alike (possibly more for adults). Whether you're a believer or not, you'll be touched by the story of the people of Moses striving for freedom and clinging steadfastedly to one single beliefe: that their God will come through. I don't know, sometimes I feel that religion causes nothing but trouble in this world; hence if there are more films like this one that reminds us of what's ultimately good and true in the teachings of religion (i.e., the faith it instills in its believers), they are perfectly welcome in an age where most of us are morely likely to scoff at the devoutly religious. What's wrong with believing in miracles?
"It is not the noise of the shout of victory, Nor the noise of the cry of defeat, But the sound of singing I hear." -- Exodus 32:18
Rating: B+ (First viewing, 12/23/98)
* Is it just me, or do the mountains of Midian look kind of like the mountains of Paramount Pictures? (Which wouldn't make sense at all, since this isn't a Paramount Pictures film. . . )

Export
Currently, there are three possiblities for data export. First, you can export a machine readable profile of your current filter, which can be used as input in the Planning Tool Plato.
Second, you can export a '.csv' file containing all the data for the selected collection, or third - a '.csv' file containing only the current filter. In other words a sparse matrix over all known properties for each element. This '.csv' file is very helpful for further analysis with the help of spreadsheet software such as Libre Office or Microsoft Excel.

Chris Leedham: “Tin man. But also thought Simmo was a great player for us and he scored more goals.”
Marc Whiley: “Tin Man, seen them all and he wins it hands down.”

velocity.Speed
public class Speed
- extends java.lang.Object
The Speed class keeps track of the bearing of an object
in the 2D plane. It holds the speed values on both axis
and the directions on those. An object with the ability
to move will contain this class and the move method will
update its position according to the speed.

Victoria Beckham goes wild as she dances to Spice Girls classic with son Romeo
Posh Spice harked back to the good old days as she danced around her kitchen to her pop hit Spice Up Your Life
by Irishmirror.ieVictoria Beckham really let her hair down when she danced around the kitchen to a Spice Girls classic.
The Posh Spice star, who didn't take part in the group's recent reunion tour, showed off her moves as she teamed up with son Romeo for an impromptu performance of Spice Up Your Life.
Victoria, dressed head to toe in black apart from her bright yellow trainers, shimmied and shaked her groove thing along to the pop hit as she harked back to the good old days.
Romeo, dressed in black too, but with a yellow smiley face on the front of his jumper, joined in with his mum as they showed off their moves together.
The 17-year-old shared the video on TikTok on Sunday, sending Spice Girls fans wild.

Fans were loving it.
One begged Romeo: "Tell your mom to join the Spice Girls reunion tour"
"Iconic," another labelled it.
And another said: "I'd buy tickets to this show! YASSSS"
Earlier this year, Mel B, Mel C, Geri Horner and Emma Bunton got back together to put on a huge tour, but Victoria didn't take part.
It's said that despite not heading out on the road, Victoria made a cool £30,000 from the tour thanks to licensing rights.
A music source told The Sun : "There are no hard feelings at all between the girls, this is just a business arrangement and canny businesswoman Victoria simply wants to get what she feels she earned from her previous years in the band."
Victoria, who has since become a hugely successful fashion designer, is estimated to be worth £350 million.

Fan gets HORRENDOUS Diego Maradona tattoo days before his quits on his club
by Tom McNeilTattoos are a risky business at the best of times. It’s always enjoyable when the press will wheel out an England fan before a big tournament who already has “England – World Cup winners” and the year before yet another collapse on the biggest stage.
As a general rule sporting tattoos should only be there to commemorate achievements AFTER the event. You definitely shouldn’t be getting one of your club’s manager after only eight games, even if it is Diego Maradona.
This picture has emerged of a dreadful tattoo of Maradona, and it turns out he got it just days before the Argentine legend quit on Gimnasia:
This was also covered by Talksport who confirmed he quit after only eight games. The Twitter comments on the picture have resulted in a pretty entertaining game of trying to guess who the tattoo is actually meant to be.
It’s even worse because Gimnasia are in real danger of being relegated, so it’s an awful decision all round from that fan.
