plchostd2(1) Qualcomm Atheros Open Powerline Toolkit plchostd2(1) NAME plchostd2 - Qualcomm Atheros Panther/Lynx PLC Host Daemon SYNOPSIS plchostd2 [options] -N nvmfile -P pibfile DESCRIPTION Wait for VS_HST_ACTION.IND messages from a local device and service them as described in the Qualcomm Atheros Firmware Technical Reference Manual for powerline devices. Unlike programs int6khost and int64host, this program uses operating system features available on POSIX, Unix, BSD and Linux systems but not available on Microsoft or VxWorks systems. This program supports chipsets QCA6410, QCA7000 and QCA7420. To use the program, connect a flash-less device to the host via ethernet then start this program with the correct file‐ names. The program will automatically respond to device requests to download memory configuration, firmware and/or parameters and upload firmware or and/or parameters under device control. See the Qualcomm Atheros Firmware Technical Reference Manual for more information. This program is part of the Qualcomm Atheros Powerline Toolkit. See the plc man page for an overview and installation instructions. OPTIONS -i interface Select the host Ethernet interface. All requests are sent via this interface and only reponses received via this interface are recognized. The default interface is eth1 because most people use eth0 as their principle network connection; however, if environment string "PLC" is defined then it takes precedence over the default interface. This option then takes precedence over either default. -N nvmfile The file containing the firmware chain used to boot and flash the device. The file must exist and have a valid NVM file format or it will be rejected. No assumptions are made based on filename and no filename conventions are enforced. The program will not over-write this file. This option and argument are required. -n filename Use this file to store firmware uploaded from the local device. The file need not exist but an error will occur if it cannot be created or written. If firmware is uploaded to this file, it is used for subsequent firmware downloads unless the device requests a factory reset. In that case, the file specified by option -N is used. This option and argument are optional. If omitted then the default filename host.pib will be used. -P pibfile The file containing the parameter chain used to boot and flash the device. The file must exist and have a valid PIB file format or it will be rejected. No assumptions are made based on filename and no filename conventions are enforced. The program will not over-write this file. This option and argument are required. -p filename Use this file to store parameters uploaded from the local device. The file need not exist but an error will occur if it cannot be created or written. Once parameters are uploaded to this file, it is used for subsequent parame‐ ter downloads unless the device requests a factory reset. In that case, the file specified by option -P is used. This option and argument are optional. If omitted then the default filename host.nvm will be used. -q Suppress status messages on stderr. -S filename The file containing the softloader chain used to flash the device. The presence of this file causes the device to be flashed once it has booted. The file must exist and have a valid PIB file format or it will be rejected. No assumptions are made based on filename and no filename conventions are enforced. The program will not over-write this file. This option and argument are required. -t timeout Read timeout in milliseconds. Values range from 0 through UINT_MAX. This is the maximum time allowed for a response. The default is shown in brackets on the program menu. -v Print additional information on stdout. In particular, this option will print incoming and outgoing Ethernet frames on stdout. -w wakeup Wakeup time in seconds. If no VS_HST_ACTION.IND message is received within this time period then the process will wakeup and perform periodic functions such as posting network topography to the server socket specified by option -s. -?, --help Print program help summary on stdout. This option takes precedence over other options on the command line. -!, --version Print program version information on stdout. This option takes precedence over other options on the command line. Use this option when sending screen dumps to Atheros Technical Support so that they know exactly which version of the Linux Toolkit you are using. ARGUMENTS None. REFERENCES See the Qualcomm Atheros HomePlug AV Firmware Technical Reference Manual for more information. EXAMPLES The following example starts the host server. The -N and -P options are always required. Option order is not important. Control does not return to the console until the program is terminated by the user using CTRL-C or another command line interrupt. # plchostd2 -N test.nvm -P test.pib -n temp.nvm -p temp.pib The next example does the same but spawns the program as an independent process and returns control to the console. In this case, that process must be terminated or killed using an appropriate command such ad kill. # plchostd2 -N test.nvm -P test.pib -n temp.nvm -p temp.pib -d DISCLAIMER Atheros HomePlug AV Vendor Specific Management Message Entry structure and content is proprietary to Qualcomm Atheros, Ocala FL USA.

Section: Maintenance Commands (8)Index Return to Main Contents
NAME
tlsmgr - Postfix TLS session cache and PRNG managerSYNOPSIS
tlsmgr [generic Postfix daemon options]
DESCRIPTION
The tlsmgr(8) manages the Postfix TLS session caches. It stores and retrieves cache entries on request by smtpd(8) and smtp(8) processes, and periodically removes entries that have expired.The tlsmgr(8) also manages the PRNG (pseudo random number generator) pool. It answers queries by the smtpd(8) and smtp(8) processes to seed their internal PRNG pools.
The tlsmgr(8)'s PRNG pool is initially seeded from an external source (EGD, /dev/urandom, or regular file). It is updated at configurable pseudo-random intervals with data from the external source. It is updated periodically with data from TLS session cache entries and with the time of day, and is updated with the time of day whenever a process requests tlsmgr(8) service.
The tlsmgr(8) saves the PRNG state to an exchange file periodically and when the process terminates, and reads the exchange file when initializing its PRNG.
SECURITY
The tlsmgr(8) is not security-sensitive. The code that maintains the external and internal PRNG pools does not "trust" the data that it manipulates, and the code that maintains the TLS session cache does not touch the contents of the cached entries, except for seeding its internal PRNG pool.
The tlsmgr(8) can be run chrooted and with reduced privileges. At process startup it connects to the entropy source and exchange file, and creates or truncates the optional TLS session cache files.
With Postfix version 2.5 and later, the tlsmgr(8) no longer uses root privileges when opening cache files. These files should now be stored under the Postfix-owned data_directory. As a migration aid, an attempt to open a cache file under a non-Postfix directory is redirected to the Postfix-owned data_directory, and a warning is logged.
DIAGNOSTICS
Problems and transactions are logged to the syslog daemon.BUGS
There is no automatic means to limit the number of entries in the TLS session caches and/or the size of the TLS cache files.CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS

a.
To multiply two linear polynomials and using only 3 multiplications:
So, compute ac and cd. Thus, the product of two polynomials is as follows:
b.
For first method, that is, the algorithm to divide the input polynomial coefficients into a high half and low half is as follows:
Suppose that two polynomials are required to be multiplied and let the two polynomials be and such that, and . The high half will be set as:
and the low half will be set as: for i =1,2….
Since, it is known that for i =1,2…and so on.
Thus, by multiplication of two polynomials:
So, by using master’s theorem the recurrence to calculate the running time is as follows:
For the second algorithm, that is, to divide the input polynomial coefficients according to whether the index is even or odd the procedure is as follows:
Let the odd index be denoted by and even index be denoted by such that, and for i=1,2…
Then, for the polynomials
Therefore,
Therefore, the recurrence relation for the above algorithm is:
c.
To multiply two n-bit integers in steps, the two integers which are taken are:
and . The generalization of the polynomial is:
.
Thus, the two n-bit integers are taken as: and where and . The andrepresent the number on every digit i = {1,2,3…n}
By using divide and conquer, the two algorithms are designed to solve the polynomial multiplication problem with run time of . For each operation, deal with either or, they are of 1 bit values.
a.
The sum of two Toeplitz matrices is Toeplitz. Suppose there are 2 matrices A and b.
In A, for i, j = 2…n. Similarly, in B, . Suppose the resultant matrix is C. Then, the sum of the values will also be equal to .
But, the product will not be Toeplitz matrix. It is shown below using an example:
The resultant matrix is not Toeplitz matrix.
b.
In a Toeplitz matrix only values of first column and first row needs to be calculated. Other values will be same due to the only property of Toeplitz matrix.
To do this, add first rows of both matrix that can be added in O(n) time like adding any 2 row vectors. Then add first columns of both matrix like adding 2 column vectors. It can also be done in O(n) time.
thus, the total time for addition will be 2O(n) = O(n) time.
c.
To solve this problem, use divide and conquer approach. A matrix can be interpreted as polynomials and the resultant matrix can be found through multiplication of polynomials.
The algorithm is given below:
Algorithm:
1. Write matrix A as polynomial P1(x) = .
2. Let the vector B be .
3. Write B as P2(x) = .
4. A(x)B(x) =
5. Use divide and conquer method as follows.
6. PolynomialMulti(A(x),B(x))
7. {
8.
9.

11.
12. Mul1(x) = PolynomialMulti(A0(x),B0(x))
13. Mul2(x) = PolynomialMulti(A0(x),B1(x))
14. Mul3(x) = PolynomialMulti(A1(x),B0(x))
15. Mul4(x) = PolynomialMulti(A1(x),B1(x))
16. return
17. }
Explanation:
Since, multiplication follows O(n log n) time. Thus, the total time of this algorithm is O(n log n).
d.
Same algorithm will be used for multiplication of 2 matrices. Write both matrices in polynomial form and multiply. Since, multiplication of polynomial takes follows O(n log n) time. Thus, the total time of this algorithm is O(n log n).
a. The normal discrete Fourier transforms a one dimensional series which will be a function of only one discrete variable.The multidimensional discrete Fourier transform of a given multi-dimensional array which is a series having function of d discrete variable for in is given by:
Here,
And expands up to
The d-dimensional DFT will be computed with the help of combination of a series of 1-dimensional DFT . In the 2-dimensional case are not depending on the rows to form a new array Similarly it can be done for other d dimensional DFT.b. While calculating discrete Fourier transform for d dimensions, it is found that the ordering of dimension will not matter while computing a d-dimensional DFT by computing the 1 dimensional DFT.
Suppose discrete Fourier transform is calculated for series in which expands up to:
Now, break the series of k in any order, say0 to 100 and the rest in the other. It would not put an effect as the total factor will sum up to the above given series. Each and every dimension is independent of one another.
c. To compute a 1-dimensional DFT using fast Fourier transform, the time taken will be.It is so because as seen in the above parts computing a single sequence would involve elements and we compute the single equation say for n number of dimension. This sums up the total complexity to.
This concludes that the running time of the procedure would be.
FFT using Modular arithmetic
The complex numbers are computed by using discrete Fourier transform. But it results into loss of precision. It is because of rounding-off integers. If FFT is used by using modular arithmetic, then the result will be more exact. Fast Fourier transform is an algorithm to calculate Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) and also to calculate inverse discrete Fourier transform. Fourier transformation changes time to frequency and frequency to time. It is one of the important numerical algorithms.
a.
Heuristic argument that to be approximately: Consider the prime number p given below:
It is clear that multiplication of integers (k and n) is there. For this, the time taken by modular arithmetic will be . In FFT circuit, use of butterfly operations is there instead of comparators. For butterfly operations, refer to the figure 30.3 from textbook.
In this case, the depth notation is applied. According to this depth notation, for n inputs, bit-reverse permutation will be there. Also the number of stages that will be followed equals to . If there is execution of n/2 butterflies in parallel form, then depth will be equal to
b.
To show that discrete Fourier transform and inverse Fourier transform are inverse operation, consider the Fourier transform and its inverse given below:
Here, is principal root of unity. The summation of this can be given as:
Now, to show that they are well defined inverse, consider the equation given below:
c.
By using, arithmetic over complex numbers, running time achieved will equal to . For increasing efficiency, the running time can be obtained up to bit operations by using arithmetic modulo. Now, showing FFT and inverse of FFT works modulo work in time .
FFT and inverse FFT work in same manner,
As (g is the generator).
All are in modulo p. There execution takes place of a single transformation in time.  So, when is added n times, the result obtained will be equal to.
d.
The DFT modulo with the vector
For a given prime number
As there are 8 vectors of the prime number, the value of n will be 8. Putting the respective values:
For the given generator
Thus the DFT modulo p will be equal to 9.


Part 3
Objects
Objects allow us to describe an entity that has a complex structure, and more closely resembles something that exist in the real world.
Arrays and functions are both special types of objects in JavaScript. We can also define our own objects to represent complex data structures.
JavaScript objects have attributes - called 'properties', and things they can do - called 'methods'. For example, we can create an object that represents a dog in JavaScript. It could have properties like 'colour' and 'breed', and methods like 'bark' and 'chaseCat'.
Objects are a data type that let us store a collection of properties and methods.
var objectName = {
propertyName1: propertyValue1,
propertyName2: propertyValue2,
};
var aboutMe = {
hometown: "Pasadena, CA",
hair: "brown"
};
var lizzieTheCat = {
age: 18,
furColor: "grey",
likes: ["catnip", "milk"],
birthday: {"month": 7, "day": 17, year: 1994}
};
Access properties using "dot notation":
var aboutMe = {
hometown: "Pasadena, CA",
hair: "brown"
};
var myHometown = aboutMe.hometown;
Or using "bracket notation" (like arrays):
var myHair = aboutMe["hair"];
Important! Non-existent properties will return undefined:
var myGender = aboutMe["gender"];
Use dot or bracket notation with the assignment operator to change objects.
Change existing properties:
var aboutMe = {
hometown: "Pasadena, CA",
hair: "brown"
};
aboutMe.hair = "blue";
Or add new properties:
aboutMe.gender = "female";
You can also delete properties:
delete aboutMe.gender;
Since arrays can hold any data type, they can also hold objects:
var myCats = [
{name: "Lizzie", age: 18},
{name: "Daemon", age: 1}
];
for (var i = 0; i < myCats.length; i++) {
var myCat = myCats[i];
console.log(myCat.name + ' is ' + myCat.age + ' years old.');
}
Just like other data types, objects can be passed into functions:
var lizzieTheCat = {
age: 18,
furColor: "grey",
likes: ["catnip", "milk"],
birthday: {"month": 7, "day": 17, year: 1994}
}
function describeCat(cat) {
console.log("This cat is " + cat.age + " years old with " + cat.furColor + " fur.");
}
describeCat(lizzieTheCat);
If you get stuck, raise your hand.
Object properties can also be functions. Object functions are called "methods".
var lizzieTheCat = {
age: 18,
furColor: 'grey',
meow: function() {
console.log('meowww');
},
eat: function(food) {
console.log('Yum, I love ' + food);
},
sleep: function(numMinutes) {
for (var i = 0; i < numMinutes; i++) {
console.log('z');
}
}
};
Call object methods using dot notation:
lizzieTheCat.meow();
lizzieTheCat.eat('brown mushy stuff');
lizzieTheCat.sleep(10);
JS provides several built-in objects:
<!doctype html>

<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>All About Cats</title>

CATS!

So cute!

Daemon

You can put JS inside a script
tag (commonly at bottom of the page):

You can also put JS in an external file and reference it:

For this page:
Don't make me cry: don't use Internet Explorer
♥
The document
object gives us ways of accessing and changing the DOM of the current webpage.
General strategy for DOM manipulation:
Every DOM "node" has properties that let us traverse the DOM like a tree: parentNode
, childNodes
, firstChild
, prevSibling
, nextSibling
.
var bodyNode = document.body;
var htmlNode = document.body.parentNode;
for (var i = 0; i < document.body.childNodes.length; i++) {
var childNode = document.body.childNodes[i];
}
id
The method signature:
document.getElementById(id);
If the HTML had:

We'd access it this way:
var img = document.getElementById('mainpicture');
The method signature:
document.getElementByTagName(tagName);
If the HTML had:

Lizzie

Daemon

We'd access it this way:
var listItems = document.getElementsByTagName('li');
for (var i =0; i < listItems.length; i++) {
var listItem = listItems[i];
}
The HTML5 spec includes a few even more convenient methods.
Available in IE9+, FF3.6+, Chrome 17+, Safari 5+:
document.getElementsByClassName(className);
var catNames = document.getElementsByClassName('catname');
for (var i =0; i < catNames.length; i++) {
var catName = catNames[i];
}
Available in IE8+, FF3.6+, Chrome 17+, Safari 5+:
document.querySelector(cssQuery);
document.querySelectorAll(cssQuery);
var catNames = document.querySelectorAll('ul li.catname');
You can access and change attributes of DOM nodes using dot notation.
If we had this HTML:

We could change the src attribute this way:
var img = document.getElementById('mainpicture');
var oldSrc = img.src;
img.src = 'http://placekitten.com/100/500';
Another way: or using getAttribute
/setAttribute
:
var oldSrc = img.getAttribute('src');
img.setAttribute('src', 'http://placekitten.com/100/500');
To set class, use the property className
:
img.className = "picture";
You can change styles on DOM nodes via the style
property.
If we had this CSS:
body {
color: red;
}
We'd run this JS:
var pageNode = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];
pageNode.style.color = 'red';
CSS property names with a "-" must be camelCased and number properties must have a unit:
body {
background-color: pink;
padding-top: 10px;
}
pageNode.style.backgroundColor = 'pink';
pageNode.style.paddingTop = '10px';
Each DOM node has an innerHTML
property with the HTML of all its children:
var pageNode = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];
You can read out the HTML like this:
console.log(pageNode.innerHTML);
You can set innerHTML
yourself to change the contents of the node:
pageNode.innerHTML = "
Oh Noes!

I just changed the whole page!
"
You can also just add to the innerHTML
instead of replace:
pageNode.innerHTML += "...just adding this bit at the end of the page.";
The document
object also provides ways to create nodes from scratch:
document.createElement(tagName);
document.createTextNode(text);
document.appendChild();
var pageNode = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];
var newImg = document.createElement('img');
newImg.src = 'http://placekitten.com/400/300';
newImg.style.border = '1px solid black';
pageNode.appendChild(newImg);
var newParagraph = document.createElement('p');
var paragraphText = document.createTextNode('Squee!');
newParagraph.appendChild(paragraphText);
pageNode.appendChild(newParagraph);

Leo is the Fixed stage of the Fire Element and is the ruled by the Sun. This means that they gather and stabilize (Fixed stage) the Sun's energies of warmth and love in order to bestow them on to others so that they may act and live (Fire Element), exactly like the Sun gives its energy to the rest of the planets and stars. Just as the Sun is the center of the universe surrounded by many planets and stars, so too does the Leo believe they are the center of the world and are constantly surrounded by others that agree with this belief.
The Fixed stage is what makes Leo confident and capable of achieving their goals. It makes them great organizers, managers, and leaders of others. Like all the other Fixed signs, it also makes Leo stable, stubborn, and reliable. The Fire Element is what makes them love action, be spontaneous, passionate, outgoing, enthusiastic, visionary, and instinctual.
Leo's symbol is a lion. This is expressed by them being the king of others like the lion is the king of the jungle animals. This also means that they are sensual, highly protective of their surroundings/loved ones/possessions, brave, proud, often lazy in the males, and often very productive in the females. The Leo roars often without serious intent of harm, they just want their pain to be heard. However, their rage and anger are not to be tested.
Leo represents the "Teenager" or "Adolescent" stage in the Astrological Karmic Cycle. Right after the "Pre-Teen" stage of Cancer that is sensitive, lacks the self-confidence, and needs affirmations of worth, the Leo is full of confidence in their abilities and self-worth. Not only do they believe that they are the right person for the job, they believe they are the ONLY right person for the job. Having passed the younger stages of the Karmic Cycle, Leo are sensitive to others' feelings since they experienced emotional vulnerabilities in those earlier stages.
Not only do Leo believe that they are the right person for the job, they believe they are the ONLY right person for the job.
Just like a teenager, Leo lacks the respect of their elders, dismissing their advice, and doing things the way they feel is right. Since Leo are born in the summer days, their souls are mesmerized by the hot Sun and want to enjoy life as much as possible. Just like a teenager that first discovers the pleasures of relating with the opposite sex, Leo are obsessed with romance and love and sometimes rush into relationships that aren't healthy for them. Their main mantra in life is "I want". Their goals in this karmic stage are to teach that "love is enthusiasm" and to learn that "love is humility".
Leo's strong traits are: warm-heartedness, kindness, generosity, charisma, leadership, courage, and gentleness. These strengths can potentially turn into weaknesses and become: arrogance, foolish pride, tyranny, boastfulness, and over-controlling. Leo's charisma and natural ability to become the center of attention is unmatched. They do not give up easily and are certain they will reach their goal or beat their adversaries.
Leo's favorite weakness is playing the crowd; a group of people cheering on Leo can get them to do just about anything.
Leo are suckers for people who compliment and appreciate their abilities and thus can sometimes be fooled or corrupted by slick talkers with malicious intentions. They posses a great fashion sense and look good in anything they wear because of their high self-worth and self-confidence. Leo are loved by all and are able to get away with offenses others cannot. They have a weakness for gambling and business ventures that get them into financial problems if they are unsuccessful. They also have a weakness for over-spending and purchasing. Leo's favorite weakness is playing the crowd; a group of people cheering on Leo can get them to do just about anything.
Leo have a built in confidence that they are strong and highly capable people. At the same time, they are also afraid of taking upon themselves challenges that they might fail in. Leo have a need to be successful and victorious in all they do, lest their fragile pride be hurt. This attitude can keep them from trying new challenges and leaving the comfort zone they so strongly cling to.
Leo's pride and love of being praised can also render them vulnerable to insults and embarrassments which might hurt them greatly. This same pride and love of praise also renders them vulnerable to slick-talking, knifing people who might use this weak spot into manipulating the generous Leo into doing their biddings.
Their pride can potentially turn into arrogance and a feeling that they are all-knowing and omnipotent. This can cause Leo to not take warning or advice from anyone and potentially take a mighty fall. Leo naturally believes they are king and in charge of others that are "beneath" them and sometimes become bossy and controlling of others.
All of these issues can be remedied if Leo strive to achieve their karmic lesson: humility. If Leo add just enough humility to their lives (not too much, they are still kings/queens), they will not be such a prisoner of their destructive ego.
Since Leo are a Fire element, they enjoy being active and being around people. They usually enjoy sports and will often prefer to watch rather than compete when they find out they are not so good at it and can't guarantee a victories. The theater and drama are one of the Leo's favorite past-times and it is no surprise that many famous actors throughout the history were/are Leos. Acting provides an opportunity for the Leo to showcase their most precious and prideful possession; themselves!
Leo don't do things just for the fun; they make sure they excel in everything they venture in. They also love the arts and crafts. Whatever Leo will do, they will make sure that their friends and admirers are around them to compliment and cheer them on. Leo love playing the crowd. They have a royal taste in all that they choose; their clothes, food, cars, etc. will usually be of exquisite quality.
Leo hate being talked to crudely, insultingly, disrespectfully or any other way that do not suite their royal manner.  They are very protective of their position, loved ones, possessions, or anything else that has to do with them and hate when people are disrespectful to any of the above mentioned.
Leo strongly dislike when people undermine their authority or don't listen to what they say. They dislike pettiness or any other behavior unfit for people of their royal stature. Leo are sensitive to others' feelings and cannot stand to see other people's feelings hurt, even if they do not belong to their circle.
The most important concept to grasp when approaching a Leo is that we are approaching people who believe they are royalty. Therefore, we must be cautious in the way we speak and behave towards Leo. If we treat them with respect and give an occasional shower of praise and compliments, we will find that our new friends will return ten folds in warmth, favors, and love.
The other part of this equation is that we need to be aware that just like a king, Leo believe they have a given right to rule others, tell them what to do, dispense their critique/advice without being asked, and decide for others what they want. Once we have accepted that, we can be assured that Leo will take care of us better than they takes care of themselves. We can also get what we want from them by asking softly, acting helpless, or sweet-talking them with praises and compliments.
Save your criticisms for a different sign, Leo despise being criticized and would quicker get a new friend than admit they did something wrong.
We should also be aware that Leo tend to be over-dramatic at times when they feel that people are disrespecting them and that we should just lend a listening ear and try to gently soothe their pains. Remember, Leo roar a lot and loudly but that does not necessarily mean they are about to bite, they just want to be heard by all. Save your criticisms for a different sign, Leo despise being criticized and would quicker get a new friend than admit they did something wrong.
Leo have the warmest heart and the most charisma of the entire Zodiac and therefore are quick to fall in love with a mate they think is to their liking. Leo love beauty and so that is important in a mate. Since they believes themselves to be of royal blood, a mate of a classier, more refined manner is required. Leo are not ones to be rude or ill-mannered and neither do they like to be around people that are. Leo want someone they can give their over-flowing love, warmth, and generosity who will in turn admire them and shower them with compliments.
They want someone who will not mind them taking charge and giving out orders, someone who will march to the beat of their drum.  Rest assured Leo are very loyal mates. The flirting is just an extension of their love of admiration. Leo is a big spender, both males and females, and needs a mate that will accept that or at least not make a big deal of it. Leo like the finer things in life and that is a fact that will never change.
I, me, fancy, royal, noble, warm, generous, admirable, brave, exquisite, special, love, loyalty.
Leo's related body part is the heart, just like they are the heart of all matters. Their lucky color is yellow/gold, their lucky stone is diamond, their lucky number is 5, their lucky day is Sunday, and their lucky metal is gold.

LITTLE NICKY (2000) / **
Directed by Steven Brill. Screenplay by Tom Herlihy, Adam Sandler and Brill. Starring Sandler, Rhys Ifans, Patricia Arquette. Running time: 94 minutes. Rated AA by the MFCB. Reviewed on November 28th, 2000.
By SHANNON PATRICK SULLIVAN
Imagine a movie in which Adam Sandler stars as a perpetual underdog with a speech impediment who dotes on a parent. Despite himself, he acquires a girlfriend who's a bit of a social reject herself. He finds a purpose in his life; it involves Sandler getting knocked down a lot. Oh, and Henry Winkler appears.
Quick, am I describing "The Waterboy" or "Little Nicky"?
Indeed, Sandler's latest comedy effort, "Little Nicky", bears an awful lot of similarities to his blockbuster "The Waterboy" -- it just has more special effects and extraneous cameo appearances. The level of humour and the appeal of the two films are virtually identical. Basically, if you like Adam Sandler movies, you'll probably like "Little Nicky". Otherwise, chances are you'll be better off steering clear.
In "Little Nicky", Sandler plays the title character, the third and youngest son of Satan (Harvey Keitel). Whereas Nicky is timid and loves his Dad, his brothers -- devious Adrian (Rhys Ifans) and powerful Cassius (Tom 'Tiny' Lister Jr) -- want nothing more than to supplant their father as ruler of Hell.  This prevents the souls of sinners from entering the realm, and without them, Satan quickly begins to physically deteriorate.
This means that it's up to Nicky to travel to Earth and convince his brothers to go home, before their father disintegrates completely. But Adrian and Cassius have already begun turning our world into their own private Hell, beginning with New York (presumably because it was the least work). They use their demonic powers to possess major public and religious figures, and have them promote acts of sin and degradation. Nicky teams up with the awkward Valerie (Patricia Arquette), a talking bulldog named Beefy (voiced by Robert Smigel), and a motley crew of other misfits to save the day.
"Little Nicky" constitutes a series of wildly uneven gags; some of them are hilarious, others fall desperately flat, and many just sit there uncomfortably. It is Adrian's and Cassius' shenanigans which provoke the biggest laughs -- they cause the legal drinking age to be lowered to ten years old, for example, and make Regis Philbin talk about committing homicide on national television (at least, I think Regis was supposed to have been possessed; it's been years since I saw "Live With..." so maybe he's always like that now). Ifans is particularly delicious as the fey, machiavellian Adrian, camping up the screen like a latter-day Dr Frankenfurter.
The other characters, though, are a largely unimpressive lot. Sandler feels as though he's running in place with Nicky -- the differences between this character and his past roles, such as Bobby Boucher in "The Waterboy" and Robbie Hart in "The Wedding Singer", are fairly minimal, Sandler has shown some capacity for comic range in the past, and he needs to start demonstrating it as part of his movie career soon. Otherwise, he risks quickly winding up in the same has-been hell as Paulie Shore and similar would-be talents. With Nicky, he is playing a character who is simply too soft and timid to match the caustic tone of the film. Instead of being the center of attention like a lead actor should be, Sandler stands on the sidelines for "Little Nicky".
Similarly, characters such as Arquette's Valerie and Nicky's roommate Todd (Allen Covert) feel out of place and underdeveloped, being mostly the butt of staid old jokes. Only Peter Dante and Jonathan Loughran, who play two would-be Satanists ("Devil groupies" might be more appropriate), are particularly funny, and even they get pretty old, pretty fast.
"Little Nicky" is littered with cameo appearances by Sandler's acting colleagues, particularly ex-"Saturday Night Live" castmembers. Some of these work well: Jon Lovitz is amusing as an ill-fate peeping tom, and Reese Witherspoon is enormously charming as a Valley Girl-like angel. But many of them are just bizarre and off-putting -- consider Dana Carvey as an evil referee, and especially Quentin Tarantino, who hams up the screen as a crazy preacher. Even Rodney Dangerfield, who plays Nicky's grandfather Lucifer, can't mine his brief appearances for laughs of any kind. By and large, these cameos are just gratuitous and unnecessary, and detract from the overall flow of the film.
"Little Nicky" basically amounts to a lightweight version of "Dogma", last year's wonderful Kevin Smith religious comedy. It is a movie which certainly has its moments; I admit, I laughed out loud on more than one occasion. But it is frustratingly uneven, and settles more than a few times for the sorts of immature, unfunny gags which have become the staple of major comedies in the past few years. If you're hoping for a devil of a good movie, look elsewhere: "Little Nicky" is a minor demon at best.

The Awwards-Review of design, creativity and innovation on the internet


Next: Conformance Statement, Previous: Resolution of Apparent Conflicts in Exceptional Situations, Up: Conforming Implementations
Suppose that function foo is a member of a set S of functions that operate on numbers. Suppose that one passage states that an error must be signaled if any function in S is ever given an argument of 17. Suppose that an apparently conflicting passage states that the consequences are undefined if foo receives an argument of 17. Then the second passage (the one specifically about foo) would dominate because the description of the situational context is the most specific, and it would not be required that foo signal an error on an argument of 17 even though other functions in the set S would be required to do so.


RIP Configuration
19 Apr 2017 | configurationOnly two steps are needed to configure RIP.
- Enable RIP with the global configuration command
router rip
- Specify each major network on which to run RIP with the network command.
The classful nature of RIP means that we can only specify major class A, B, or C networks with the network command.
If needed, debug ip rip with show RIP messages and activity.
To block RIP broadcasts on an interface connected to a subnet of a RIP-enabled network, add the passive-interface gig0/1
command to the RIP process. The passive-interface command is not specific to RIP as it can be used with all routing protocols for this purpose. This will only get the router to quit sending updates. If you want the router to not learn routes advertised across the interface, you must filter those updates.
Another configuration option is the neighbor command. If you specify a neighbor, routing exchanges will be done via unicast packets as compared to the normal RIP multicast method. Often, this is used in combination with the passive-interface command on Ethernet interfaces. The passive-interface disables the multicast advertisements but you can then enable advertisement exchange with a single host on the broadcast network via the neighbor command.
Another configuration issue is that RIPv1 does not support discontiguous networks. Discontiguous networks arise when a major network is separated by a major network. The problem arises because RIP summarizes at the major network boundary. This summarization is done at the classful boundary. If there is one major network between the two discontiguous networks, the RIP routers will receive a summarized route they already have in their routing table, so they will silently drop it. The result is that only half the of the discontiguous network is reachable. If there are two major networks between, then each major network believes it has a route to the summarized network, so they will install two equal-cost routes to the discontiguous network. This again would result in only half the communication being received by the destination network.
The workarounds for discontiguous networks with RIP would be to install static routes for the individual networks. The other solution is to apply secondary IPs to the interfaces of the in-between major network. These IPs would be from the summarized discontiguous network in question. The RIP routing process sees secondary addresses as separate data links.
Sometimes with RIP configuration, it may become necessary to manipulate the metric (hop count). This is done with the combination of an offset-list and an access-list. The offset-list adds the number specified to the metric of the route entry matching an access-list. The access-list matches the route for which to apply the offset-list. You use the keywords in and out with the offset-list to determine if the offset-list should change the metric on inbound Response Messages it receives or outbound Response Messages it sends. Here is an example configuration.
`access-list 1 permit <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS>
router rip
network <IP_ADDRESS>
network <IP_ADDRESS>
offset-list 1 in 2 Serial0
This one says examine RIP advertisements coming in interface Serial 0. If they are for the <IP_ADDRESS> network (from access-list 1), then add 2 hops to the metric.
``
`
Another configuration option is triggered updates. RIP will normally broadcast its entire routing table every 30 seconds by default. If no routes are changing, this can be very inefficient on slow links. On an interface, by interface basis, you can issue the command ip rip triggered which will force the routers on that interface to only exchange routes and updates when changes in the topology occur.

--- title: Reward keywords: fastai sidebar: home_sidebar summary: "Rewards - non-differentiable scores for samples" description: "Rewards - non-differentiable scores for samples" nb_path: "nbs/21_reward.ipynb" ---
Rewards are non-differentiable score functions for evaluating samples. Rewards should generally follow the format reward = reward_function(sample)
Rewards in MRL occupy five events in the fit loop:
before_compute_reward
- set up necessary values prior to reward calculation (if needed)compute_reward
- compute rewardafter_compute_reward
- compute metrics (if needed)reward_modification
- adjust rewardsafter_reward_modification
- compute metrics (if needed)MRl breaks rewards up into two phases - rewards and reward modifications. The difference between the two phases is that reward values are saved in the batch log, while reward_modifications are not.
In this framework, rewards are absolute scores for samples that are used to evaluate the sample relative to all other samples in the log. Reward modifications are transient scores that depend on the current training context.
A reward modification might be something like adding a score bonus to compounds the first time they are created during training to encourage diversity, or penalizing compounds if they appear more than 3 times in the last 5 batches. These types of reward modifications allow us to influence the behavior of the generative model without having these scores effect the true rewards we save in the log
As mentioned above, rewards generally follow the format reward = reward_function(sample)
. The Reward
class acts as a wrapper around the reward_function
to provide some convenience functions. Reward
maintains a lookup table of sample : reward
values to avoid repeat computation. Reward
handles batching novel samples (ie not in the lookup table), sending them to reward_function
, and merging the outputs with the lookup table values.
Creating a custom reward involves creating a callable function or object that can take in a list of samples
and return a list of reward values. For example:
class MyRewardFunction():
def __call__(self, samples):
rewards = self.do_reward_calculation(samples)
return rewards
reward_function = MyRewardFunction()
reward = Reward(reward_function, weight=0.5, log=True)
RewardCallback
handles it loop integration and metric logging for a given Reward
For greater flexibility, GenericRewardCallback
will pass the entire BatchState
to reward
As discussed above, reward modifications apply changes to rewards based on some sort of transient batch context. These are rewards that will influence a given batch, but not the logged rewards.
Reward modifications should update the value BatchState.rewards_final
Similar to ContrastiveTemplate
, ContrastiveReward
provides a wrapper around a RewardCallback
to adapt it for the task of contrastive generation.
For contrastive generation, we want the model to ingest a source sample and produce a target sample that receives a higher reward than the source sample. ContrastiveReward
takes some base_reward
and computes the values of that base reward for both source and target samples, and returns the difference between those rewards.
Optionally, the contrastive reward will scale the relative reward based on a given max_score
(ie reward = (target_reward - source_reward)/(max_reward - source_reward)
). This scales the contrastive reward relative to the maximum possible reward


Containerized KRM Functions
Guide to writing containerized KRM functions for use as Kustomize plugins
Kustomize offers a plugin framework allowing people to write their own resource generators and transformers.
A generator generates new Kubernetes objects. Examples include a helm chart inflator, or a plugin that emits all the components (deployment, service, scaler, ingress, etc.) needed by someone’s 12-factor application, based on a smaller number of free variables.
A transformer plugin makes changes to existing Kubernetes objects. For example, it might apply a custom order to the resource list, perform special
container command line edits, or any other
transformation beyond those provided by the
builtin (namePrefix
, commonLabels
, etc.)
transformers.
Before writing a plugin, you should verify whether using advanced generator options or transformer configs for the built-in generators and transformers would meet your needs.
All Kustomize plugins are in alpha. There are five different ways to build them, some of which are slated for deprecation:
The content on this page focuses on container-based plugins. Plugin developers getting started today are strongly encouraged to build containerized KRM Function plugins. Containers provide some level of plugin security for end users, and this method of plugin development is expected to change the least as Kustomize plugins progress towards stable status.
The vision for the future of Kustomize plugins is detailed in the Kustomize Plugin Graduation KEP. The Composition KEP, KRM Plugin Catalog KEP and Public KRM Functions Registry KEP go into detail on specific aspects of this plan.
Kustomize plugins do not run in any kind of kustomize-provided sandbox. Thus, there is no notion of “plugin security” beyond any security inherent to the plugin runtime used. For that reason, plugin authors are strongly encouraged to containerize their plugins and to not require end users to enable disk or network access for them to execute.
End users should always carefully vet each plugin before enabling it, regardless of the plugin type. Under no circumstances should a user enable a plugin from an untrusted source.
All plugins currently require the use of additional flag: --enable-alpha-plugins
. Without this flag, Kustomize will not load plugins and will fail with a warning about plugin use.
The use of this flag is an opt-in acknowledging the unstable (alpha) plugin API, the absence of plugin provenance, and the fact that a plugin is not part of kustomize.
To be clear, some kustomize plugin downloaded
from the internet might wonderfully transform
k8s config in a desired manner, while also
quietly doing anything the user could do to the
system running kustomize build
.
Like all Kustomize features, plugins are configured using Kubernetes objects.
apiVersion: someteam.example.com/v1
kind: ChartInflator
metadata:
name: notImportantHere
annotations:
config.kubernetes.io/function: |
image: example.docker.com/my-functions/chart-inflator:0.1.6
spec:
chartName: minecraft
The apiVersion
and kind
fields are required because a kustomize plugin configuration
objects are also Kubernetes objects.
The metadata.annotations["config.kubernetes.io/function]
is also required, as it is used to locate the implementation of your plugin. The KRM Plugin Catalog KEP may change this.
The metadata.name
field is also standard Kubernetes object metadata, and is required in most contexts.
Your plugin determines the rest of the configuration object’s schema. For example, spec.chartName
in the example above will presumably be used by the plugin to determine the Helm chart to fetch and render into resources.
kustomization.yaml
Plugin configuration must be referred to in the generators
and/or transformers
field of your Kustomization. The items in those fields can be either paths to files containing plugin configuration, or the configuration objects themselves inlined as strings.
generators:
- relative/path/to/some/chartInflator.yaml
- |-
apiVersion: someteam.example.com/v1
kind: ChartInflator
metadata:
name: notImportantHere
annotations:
config.kubernetes.io/function: |
image: example.docker.com/my-functions/chart-inflator:0.1.6
spec:
chartName: minecraft
transformers:
- # same options as above
Given Kustomization file with the following lines:
generators:
- chartInflator.yaml
The kustomization process would expect
to find a file called chartInflator.yaml
in the
kustomization root.
The file chartInflator.yaml
could contain:
apiVersion: someteam.example.com/v1
kind: ChartInflator
metadata:
name: notImportantHere
annotations:
config.kubernetes.io/function: |
image: example.docker.com/my-functions/chart-inflator:0.1.6
chartName: minecraft
For more examples of plugin configuration YAML, browse the unit tests below the plugins root.
Both the transformers
and generators
fields can also accept paths or URLs containing Kustomization files.
generators:
- relative/path/to/some/kustomization
- /absolute/path/to/some/kustomization
- https://github.com/org/repo/some/kustomization
transformers:
- # same options as above
Paths or URLs leading to kustomizations trigger an in-process kustomization run. Each of the resulting objects is now further interpreted by kustomize as a plugin configuration object.
This means you can use Kustomize to manipulate plugin configuration in lower Kustomization layers and run it in overlays by referring to the lower-layer Kustomizations in the transfomers and/or generators fields. See “Everything is a Transformer” for more on that pattern.
The Composition KEP proposes a new Kind that simplifies the structure required to manipulate plugin configuration before execution.
Plugins are only invoked during a run of the
kustomize build
command, and only when a targeted Kustomization declaratively configures them.
Generator plugins are run after processing the
resources
field (which itself can be viewed as a
generator, simply reading objects from disk).
The full set of resources is then passed into the
transformation pipeline, wherein builtin
transformations like namePrefix
and
commonLabel
are applied (if they were specified
in the kustomization file), followed by the
user-specified transformers in the transformers
field.
The order specified in the transformers
field is respected, as transformers cannot be expected to
be commutative.
All plugins currently require the use of an additional flag:
--enable-alpha-plugins
Some plugin styles require additional flags to enable them at all, or to enable additional features. Some of these additional flags are not available in kubectl kustomize
, effectively disabling those plugins in that version of Kustomize. The chart below outlines the flags required as of Kubectl v1.22 and Kustomize v4.4.
| Feature | Kustomize | Kubectl Kustomize |
|---|---|---|
| legacy go plugins | --enable-alpha-plugins |
--enable-alpha-plugins |
| legacy exec plugins | --enable-alpha-plugins |
--enable-alpha-plugins |
| KRM starlark plugins | --enable-alpha-plugins --enable-star |
DISABLED. |
| KRM exec plugins | --enable-alpha-plugins --enable-exec |
DISABLED. |
| KRM container plugins | --enable-alpha-plugins to use; --mount --network and --network-name further configure these types of plugins specifically. |
--enable-alpha-plugins to use; --mount --network and --network-name further configure these types of plugins specifically. |
There are five ways to build Kustomize plugins, some of which are slated for deprecation:
Regardless of how it is built, a plugin can adjust the generator options for the resources it emits by setting one of the following internal annotations.
NOTE: These annotations are local to kustomize and will not be included in the final output.
kustomize.config.k8s.io/needs-hash
Resources can be marked as needing to be processed by the internal hash transformer by including the needs-hash
annotation. When set valid values for the annotation are "true"
and "false"
which respectively enable or disable hash suffixing for the resource. Omitting the annotation is equivalent to setting the value "false"
.
Hashes are determined as follows:
ConfigMap
resources, hashes are based on the values of the name
, data
, and binaryData
fields.Secret
resources, hashes are based on the values of the name
, type
, data
, and stringData
fields.Example:
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: cm-test
annotations:
kustomize.config.k8s.io/needs-hash: "true"
data:
foo: bar
kustomize.config.k8s.io/behavior
The behavior
annotation will influence how conflicts are handled for resources emitted by the plugin. Valid values include “create”, “merge”, and “replace” with “create” being the default.
Example:
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: cm-test
annotations:
kustomize.config.k8s.io/behavior: "merge"
data:
foo: bar

TLC announce return to London in celebration of 25 years of ‘CrazySexyCool’
The iconic band will return to London in 2020
Today, on the 25 anniversary of the release of ‘CrazySexyCool,’ TLC have announced that they will be returning to London in 2020.
- Read More: TLC – ‘TLC’ Review
TLC will play at the O2 Shepherds Bush Empire on June 29, 202o in what is being billed as “an incredible, non-stop party with hit after hit all night long.” Tickets for the gig will go on sale at 10am on November 20 and you can buy them here.
The performance is also said to celebrate the twenty-year milestone of TLC’s debut ‘FanMail’ headline tour.
TLC, who are made up of Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas, have sold over 70 million records in their career and had huge hits with songs such as ‘Waterfalls’, ‘Creep’, ‘No Scrubs’ and ‘Unpretty’.
Their third member, Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, passed away in a car crash in 2002, shortly after TLC had finished recording their fourth album.
TLC are returning to London next year
In 2017, the group returned with their first album in fifteen years. Reviewing the album, NME said: “This album also feels more purposeful than the average reunion effort because it was crowdfunded by fans…The Earth, Wind & Fire-sampling ‘It’s Sunny’ is too cheesy, and ‘Aye Muthaf***a’ slips in some Rihanna-style dancehall beats, but elsewhere ‘TLC’ offers a familiar mix of breezy R&B tunes and folky self-acceptance jams. “Either you’re too young to matter or you’re way too old / Public opinion is so hot and cold,” they sing poignantly on standout ‘Haters’.
“When TLC sing, “Thank you for being by my side / Hope you all enjoy the ride,” on ‘Joy Ride’, a song aimed at fans, it’s hard not to feel a little emotional.”
Back in April, Weezer covered TLC’s ‘No Scrubs’ with the R&B group’s own Chilli during their Coachella 2019 set.
The Rivers Cuomo-led band performed on the Main Stage just before Tame Impala headlined the second day of the festival.
During their set, Weezer revisited two songs they covered on their recent ‘Teal Album’. First, they were joined by Tears For Fears to run through a version of their 1985 single ‘Everybody Wants To Rule The World’, before moving onto the TLC track a few songs later.
As the song started, Cuomo told the audience to “give it up”, before going on to swap vocals with Chilli on a rocky version of the hit track.

Example
Clickable Labels Example
By default, clicking on the node label toggles the checkbox value. By providing an onClick
property
the checkbox will toggle only when clicking on the checkbox and the provided function will be called when
clicking on the node label.
When the onClick
function is defined, passing the expandOnClick
property will also
expand the clicked node automatically.

The first attempt at anything is usually inefficient, clunky, and unpolished. That’s how I feel with my class at the moment. I’m trying to polish and refine, but I need to be patient, because I will probably never be completely satisfied…but I think good teachers are never comfortable with everything they do. We need to be finding ways to constantly improve our methodology and be refining our pedagogy.
The biggest challenge I’ve had thus far with mastery is the unbelievable volume of daily grading and checking I’ve been doing and the brainpower it is taking me to think about 10 different assignments all being shown to me at once. Feeling fried out (after one unit, mind you) I queried Jonathan Bergmann, a mastery guru (he’s in his 4th year using the method right now). A recent blog post of his had to do with how he and a colleague switched from grading every assignment to grading specific objectives they wanted students to accomplish. Needless to say, I loved it.
I will be using this with my next unit, but I wanted to share his thoughts. I am in no way responsible for coming up with the idea…I’m just borrowing from him to try and improve my class…thanks Jon!

Explore the desert and the Bedouin lifestyle by jeep, camel or on foot. Enjoy a tea, eat local food and sleep under the stars!
Wadi Rum (Arabic: وادي رم) is a valley cut into the sandstone and granite rock in southern Jordan 60 km (37 mi) to the east of Aqaba in Jordan
Wadi Rum is the highlight of most tourists and backpackers in Jordan.
It's breathtaking scenery was used as film locations for the classic Lawrence of Arabia and more recently on Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and many others.
The best way to explore the vast desert is by 4x4 vehicles. We can arrange tours from a few hours to a couple of days.
We can arrange accomodation in a Bedouin camp with faciliteis providing a big tent, bed and toilet. It is also possible to camp in the desert sleep under stars!
Bedouins are always up for a cup of tea. Eat fresh food cooked on wood fire or the tradicional meal cooked under the sand!
Ride a camel on the desert.
Wadi Rum offers many climbing opportunities.
Lots of short hikes and also long ones.
I am Awad, a bedouin born and raised in Wadi Rum.

Kiss of the Dragon * 1/2 (out of * * * * )
Directed by Chris Nahon.  Reviewed by Dustin Putman, July 6, 2001.
Chris Nahon's Jet Li vehicle, "Kiss of the Dragon," makes the cardinal sin of trying to persuade the viewer that it is more that it actually is. Setting aside time to attempt character development and a deep emotional core, the film, instead, flounders in desperately overwrought dialogue and one of the most incomprehensible plots since 2000's "Battlefield Earth."
Jet Li stars as Liu Jiuan, a Beijing cop who has traveled to Paris to aid in a police raid against a heroin smuggler. When the head of Paris' police department, Richard (Tcheky Karyo), ends up murdering the suspect, as well as a prostitute, in a hotel room and setting Liu up as the murderer, it is up to Liu to escape suspicions and seek revenge on the crooked cops behind the operation. Giving Liu an added reason to go after them, Liu meets Jessica (Bridget Fonda), a mother-turned-drug-addict/hooker whose daughter is being held hostage by Richard.
The motives behind what Richard, the archenemy, does throughout is both muddled and never explained. For instance, why is he trying to frame Liu for murder when he has just met him? And why does Richard insist that Jessica must remain a prostitute or have her young daughter be killed? Furthermore, why was Liu sought out in Paris from Beijing for a simple drug bust? Action movies, especially those that work as an exciting thrill-ride, do not always require stringent logic, but "Kiss of the Dragon" is so flawed on the story level that it can't be taken seriously for even one moment.
As for the vital action and martial arts sequences, the best that can be said about them is that they are well-choreographed, and often very violent and bloody. Their innovation level is close to nil, however, and seldom exciting. The thought of the very small Liu taking on a whole room full of martial arts students, leaving all of them pounded to the floor but without a scratch on himself, is ridiculous even for this genre of film.
Jet Li (2000's "Romeo Must Die") is adequate as the wronged Liu, but his English isn't very good, and this bars him from being able to express his character's feelings clearly. As a woman who simply wants her daughter back, but has found herself stuck in a grimy life of prostitution and needles shoved through her veins, Bridget Fonda (1999's "Lake Placid") is so much better than this movie. It's actually a bit disheartening seeing the usually very bright Fonda stuck in an unattractive role that has her saying the most godawful dialogue this side of a cheesy '80s slasher flick. Rounding out the three main players, Tcheky Karyo (2000's "The Patriot") grunts and narrows his eyes on cue as the incumbently vicious Richard.
Ineptly directed by newcomer Chris Nahon and written by the usually reliable Luc Besson (1994's "The Professional") and Robert Mark Kamen, "Kiss of the Dragon" may pass as a minor divergence for hard-core action fans, but everyone else should stay away. With a script that is a mess of cliches and bad drama, and not one scene that has the ability to get your heart racing, you have been officially warned.
